Great recipe, but to split it up is a lot of work, why not do the slow cooker with the rest it may make it long but it is all together in one. I am not complaining just to make it much simpler where you don’t have to go back and forth.. Just suggesting. Thank you.
You could do it all at once, but the second step is to get the sauce mixture all blended so you don’t have big chunks of green chilies in it. My kids wouldn’t eat it if I didn’t do that. 🙂
Would it be possible to do this in the instant pot?
I think so, but I am not very familiar with instant pots, so I am not sure how long you would cook it. Sorry!
Can the leftovers be frozen to be reheated later?
Yes, you can freeze the pork after it’s fully cooled down. Freeze up to 2 months. When you want to reheat I would let it thaw in the fridge for at least 12 hours, then reheat in microwave. 🙂
