This Slow Cooker Pork Verde is a great meal for one of those days when you really don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen over an oven or a stove.
It’s quick to prep and throw together in the slow cooker or crock pot. Then you walk away for 4 hours and come back ready to eat!
The red cabbage and radishes add a nice crunch to this meal and go very well with the pork. If you are new to radishes be aware that they have a little natural heat to them, similar to pepper or horseradish.
