Wednesday Dinner

On Wednesdays I like to use the crock pot if I can or if I remember, today I am making sweet & sour pork (or you can use chicken).  I made it last week and have been craving it since then. The recipe is:

Sweet & Sour Pork

1 1/2 lbs. pork loin, cubed or 2 1/2 cups boneless skinless chicken, cubed
1 onion, chopped
1 red pepper chopped
1 green pepper chopped
1 14 oz can of chicken broth
2 10 oz bottles of sweet and sour sauce
1  15 oz can pineapple chunks, and 2 tablespoons of the juice 
1 c. converted rice, uncooked

     Place onion and pork or chicken in the slow cooker, then add the broth and one jar of the sweet and sour sauce. Cover and cook on high for one hour; reduce heat to low setting and cook for another 3 1/2 hours.  Add pineapple, peppers, the other bottle of sauce and rice; mix well.  Cover and cook on low for 1 1/2 more hours. 


***Variations***
     I will use the frozen bag of three pepper and onion blend from Kroger to save time and money( these normally are on sale 10 for 10).   If I use this I put the whole frozen bag in the slow cooker from the start.  If you like it a little bit spicy you can add a bottle of sweet chili sauce in place of one jar of sweet and sour sauce.

 ENJOY!!
