  • 12 prepared corn muffins
  • 3/4 cup shredded lettuce
  • 3/4 cup chopped tomato
  • 3/4 cup sour cream

  • Remove any strings or netting from the pork if it is tied. Put the pork in a 3- to 4-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle taco seasoning mix over the pork and then add the beans on top.
  • Slow cook on low heat for 8 to 10 hours with the pot covered.
