A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

What an amazing recipe! While it may not be the traditionally cooked carnitas, it is definitely as good and much healthier version. I will make this again and again!

These carnitas were absolutely delicious- so flavorful and moist. I used a shoulder roast instead of the loin and it gave off a lot of juice in the pan. After I shredded the meat I put it back in the juice and baked as directed. I had used a large onion so I did scoop some of it out before I put the meat back in the pan because it seemed like to much to mix in.I will definitely make this again. My family loved it.

This may take a long time to cook but by far it is the best. The meat just falls apart. Excellent
