My family loves this versatile pork dish. We like to have it over a serving of cheesy grits, but it also goes well with rice or potatoes. Leftovers make an excellent starter for white chili. —Val Ruble, Ava, Missouri

Ingredients

1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (3-1/2 to 4 pounds)
1 large onion, chopped
1 jar (16 ounces) salsa verde

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Place pork and onion in a 4-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine salsa, chiles, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, pepper flakes and cinnamon; pour over meat. Cook, covered, on low 5-6 hours or until meat is tender.
