Slow cooker pozole provides easy preparation for this traditional Mexican soup, with the option to add another can of hominy if your slow cooker accommodates larger batches. This convenient method makes authentic pozole accessible while ensuring proper flavor development through slow cooking techniques.

An easy pozole recipe made in the slow cooker. You can add another can of hominy if your slow cooker is large. I prefer hot enchilada sauce with salsa, but the regular kind will do. Traditional Mexican pozole is served with shredded cabbage, lime wedges, avocado, onion, cilantro, and, of course, warm tortillas.
