Kids are back in school, which means it never hurts to have a good crock pot recipe to rely on when things get hectic. This Crock Pot Pork Taco Bowl recipe has been a huge hit with my entire family for many years, and it is a weeknight staple in our home for evenings when I just don’t have time to cook. And, as an added bonus, this recipe makes a very generous amount, so you can almost certainly count on leftovers to eat the next day or freeze to enjoy later.

One kitchen gizmo that I am always very happy to have when I prepare this recipe is a set of tortilla bowl makers that my mother-in-law gave us a few years back. Mine are very similar to these here, and baking the bowls at home instead of buying the pre-made, fried versions is so easy to do, and so much healthier!

Mmmmm. That looks delish!
Yummy! What an easy and delicious meal to make. Thanks for the recipe!!
Do you think I could use pork chops? I already have them, so I was just wondering. Thanks!
I think any kind of pork would work great!
I’ve never seen those taco bowl makers before. Will have to invest in some!
This looks so good, just a little question though, what is Rotel? We don’t have it in the UK. Thanks
Hi Debbie in the UK! Rotel is a combination of diced tomatoes and chopped green chilies. It comes in mild or hot. If I don’t have Rotel in, I just open a can of chopped chilies and throw them in to taste.
Rotel is a canned mixture of diced tomatoes and green chile. You could substitute diced tomatoes if you have that on hand, plus a small can of chiles or jalapenos. Thanks!
This recipe looks absolutely delicious!! Pinning to my “Good Lookin’ Slow Cookin’ Eats” pinboard … Look forward to trying it soon! Thanks for sharing
Have a fabulous week!!
