Recipe: Easy Pork Posole

Easy Pork Posole

Here is a fabulous recipe that I know you will really enjoy!  And it cooks in a crock pot so it is great for a busy mom.  Addie made this recipe for our family and it is a keeper.

The recipe calls for putting this in corn tortillas.  We actually ate it almost like a soup instead. Top your bowl with cilantro, onion and some fresh squeezed lime.  Serve with tortilla chips for a little crunch and to help scoop up your posole!  

Never heard of posole?  Neither had I.  LOL! It is worth trying.  It has hominy and hominy is so good!  And the andouille sausage...mmm!
