Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 3 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin, trimmed
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup chopped green bell pepper, seeded and de-ribbed

• 12 ounces Chili Verde green sauce
• 3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown pork in 1 1/2 tablespoons
of the oil. Don't worry about cooking it through - you just want it nicely browned on all sides. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove pork to slow cooker. Add remaining oil to skillet and sauté onion, garlic, bell pepper and jalapeno till onion is translucent. Place sautéed veggies on top of pork, then add Chili Verde sauce and broth. Cover and cook on low heat setting for about 6 hours, or until
pork is tender. Remove pork from slow cooker and serve.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Ranch beans, Spanish rice and a green salad.
