Slowcooker Pork Tacos

This recipe is from my step-daugther Tanya. She was at the airport one time reading this magazine and she came across with this recipe. She decided to keep the magazine and tried the recipe. Fortunately I was at her place when she was making this and got to try it the first time. This is great for busy moms that wants to plan a Friday Mexican meal with the family. Simple meal and easy to prepare. Make it healthy by using whole wheat tortillas and low fat sour cream for toppings.

Awesome Slow-Cooker Pot Roast

If you love comfort food then you have to try this one. I had this recipe in my drawer for along time. I finally got to try this today for our Easter sunday dinner. My husband doesn't like mushrooms but he didn't even noticed the tiny bits of mushrooms in there. All I could hear from him while eating was "yum" and "hmm."The pork was so tender and the taste of garlic was awesome! Thank you Allrecipes.

Original Recipe Yield 12 servings



Ingedients
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
1 1/4 cups water
5 1/2 pounds pot roast

Optional
1. The night before you slowcook the meat do these suggestions.
2. I head of garlic slightly smashed. Using a sharp knife, poke holes around the meat and insert the garlic. This tip will give your roast a flavorful garlic taste, only if you like garlic.
3. Sprinkle a little bit of salt and pepper both sides of the meat.
4. The day you slowcook the meat, rub flour on both sides of the meat and brown the meat in the skillet with a little bit of oil for about 10 mins. (Some people doesn't like the browning part.)
5. I used a 7 qt slowcooker and lined it with Reynolds Slowcooker Liner. This helps alot.

Directions
1.In a slow cooker, mix cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix and water. Place pot roast in slow cooker and coat with soup mixture.
2.Cook on High setting for 3 to 4 hours, or on Low setting for 8 to 9 hours.
