Homemade Carnitas and Mac and Cheese
I adore Mac and Cheese. I mean, duh. But the addition of pulled pork with a bit of spice sends this dish over the top. The Carnitas portion of this recipe is made in the crock pot, which DEFINITELY simplifies things. AND you can easily do this a day ahead…

How to Make Pork Carnitas:
Just make a simple dry rub for the pork…
Chop up some goodies to throw in the slow cooker with the meat…
Put it all in there, cover it and go about your day. It will be ready in a few hours…when the meat shreds easily.
How to Make Mexican-Style Mac and Cheese:
When you’re ready to prepare the mac and cheese grab some cheddar cheese…
…and don’t hate me, but Velveeta. Sometimes you just have to go there. It’s just so dang creamy!!!!
Drain a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes to throw in the cheese sauce you’re gonna make for the pasta.
Once you have your cheese sauce done, mix it with some pasta and scoop in some Carnitas. You can honestly add as many or as little pork as you would like! There’s no right or wrong here folks. And then of course top it all off with more cheese.
Bake it until it’s all bubbly and gorgeous!!!
You guys are going to love this, from the slow cooker Carnitas, to the creamy mac and cheese…it’s perfection!
