I buy 2 packs of cheek meat at HEB.
Take them out of package and cut off any big chunks of fat.
There will be quite a bit of connective tissue, but it cooks down.
Pat dry and put in crockpot.
Season with salt and pepper.
Chop up 1 onion and put on top of meat.
Chop up a few cloves of garlic and put on top of meat.
Place 2-3 bay leaves on top of meat.
No liquid is needed it makes its own.
Put lid on, set to low, cook at least 8 hours.
When it’s done take off bay leaves and discard.
Shred meat with forks. Taste to see if it needs more seasoning.
I put mine on before I go to bed and it’s ready for breakfast.
