SLOW COOKER PORK STEW
This savory, one-pot, slow cooker pork stew is great in autumn with seasonal sweetness from fresh apples and yams. I came up with it years ago, and have perfected it over time. Serve hot in soup bowls with crusty bread, or serve in bread bowls for a special treat.

Tips:
- For a thicker stew, use a cornstarch or flour slurry. Whisk together equal parts cornstarch or flour and water until smooth. Bring the stew to a simmer and slowly whisk in the slurry until the desired consistency is reached.
- To save time, use pre-cut vegetables. You can also use frozen vegetables, but be sure to thaw them before adding them to the slow cooker.
- If you are using a lean cut of pork, you may want to add a little bit of fat to the stew. This will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful.
- Be sure to season the stew well. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices.
- If you are using a slow cooker with a removable insert, you can brown the meat and vegetables in the insert before transferring it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop more flavor.
- Serve the stew over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.
Conclusion:
Pork stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover pork. With a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker, you can easily make a delicious pork stew that the whole family will enjoy.
