You just can’t go wrong with easy slow cooker recipes and it doesn’t get any easier than this Sweet and Sour Pork. All you have to do is cut up your ingredients and dump it all right in the slow cooker. Prepare some rice and you’ve got an easy and delicious dinner.
I’m just going to be honest with you all – most nights, I’m just not in the mood to cook dinner. Who can relate to that? I have way more energy in the morning than I do in the evening so I’m all about preparing meals in the slow cooker. I can prepare dinner while drinking my coffee.
This recipe can also be prepared ahead of time and frozen until your ready to make it. It’s the perfect dump dinner for busy nights when you don’t have a lot of time to make dinner. Place ingredients in a ziplock back and add to slow cooker.
Smithfield® Marinated Pork is my secret ingredient in this recipe. You just can’t go wrong with their marinated pork. They’re perfectly seasoned pork provides “real flavor real fast” in every bite. No need to settle for less flavorful options when you’re in a hurry. You can grill it, roast it, sauté it or throw it in the slow cooker for an easy dinner. Smithfield Marinated 100% Fresh Pork is a delicious, easy meal solution that is perfect for any night of the week.
I picked up the Smithfield Marinated Roasted Garlic & Cracked Black Pepper Fresh Pork Tenderloin for this recipe. It took me about 10 minutes to prepare and the slow cooker did all the work. And, my house smells amazing all day. Another benefit to cooking dinner in the slow cooker.
