Mexican Style Pork

Mid-week crockpot meals are so very wonderful. Especially when you are tired and miserable because it is colder than it has any right to be outside.

Weight Watchers Mexican Style Pork
7 points per serving 

Ingredients:
1 lb pork roast
1 20oz jar of salsa (I used Chi Chis Medium. Bring back Chi Chis!!)
1 4.5oz can of green chiles
1 15oz can of black beans (drained)
1c shredded Mexican cheese blend 

Instructions:
Combine pork, salsa and chilies in the crock pot. Cover and cook on low for about 6 to 8 hour or until pork is soft and tender. (I recommend 7 hours on low and 1 hour on high)
Take out pork and shred with two forks. Place back in crockpot.
Stir in beans and cook again for about 5 minutes or until hot.
Finally drizzle some cheese over it.

I served it over 1/2c white rice.

Oh, and the recipe said to cut pork in cubes before cooking, but as I hate cubed meat (blech), I chose to cook it whole and then shred it. That method worked perfectly.
