Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1 (4 pound) pork shoulder roast
  • 1 pound dried pinto beans
  • 3 (4 ounce) cans diced green chile peppers, divided
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano

Step 1
Spray the crock of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Place roast inside the prepared crock.

Step 2
Combine beans, 2 cans chile peppers, chili powder, cumin, salt, oregano, and garlic powder in a bowl. Stir to combine and pour over roast in the slow cooker. Add enough water to mostly cover roast. Jiggle roast a bit to get some liquid underneath.

Cover and cntinue to cook for 3 to 4 more hours, adding water as necessary, until roast is fork-tender. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
