Preparation

Step 1

1. Place onion in the bottom of a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add the pork, potatoes and carrots. Whisk the hot water, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, garlic powder and chili powder; pour over pork and vegetables.

2. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and the pork and potatoes are tender.
