I love versatile recipes that I can cook in the Instant Pot or slow simmer in Slow Cooker. Besides all that the best part is it’s only 5 ingredients. You can eat this tasty pork dish alone, with a side dish, make tacos, burritos or quesadillas out of it. The possibilities are countless!

Easy Chile Verde

Probably one of the easiest, set it and forget it recipes !  Succulent, a little spicy, and melt in your mouth goodness. Pair this with some cauliflower rice, or make into your favorite burrito, taco or quesadillas.
