I buy meat when it's on sale and then freeze it for later. One good item is pork roasts. I can stick it the crockpot in the morning while it's still frozen. I put it fat side up, add 2 cans of chicken broth, and cook on low all day while I'm working. It's usually close to 11 hours with my schedule the way it is.

When I get home, I pull out a couple of cups of the broth, and add one package of Mama Sita's Adobo mix to the broth. Stir it up and pour back in the pot & Voila! It's done. You can use chickeen or pork. Beef also works, but so it's soooo unauthentic! I accidentally used beef once, and my hubby teased me for days! "You'd be drummed out of the Filipino community if anybody knew!" :-)

And, for a truly extra authentic touch, add a few drops of fish sauce. Serve with rice.

The broth is thinner than stove top adobo, but it tastes so good. I suppose you could thicken the broth with a little cornstarch if you waned.
