My dear old Dad used to make this meal a lot. When I first started writing my blog this was one of the first recipes I had to include. It is one of the first recipe I posted here. I loved it and it’s a meal I have always loved too. Although I have never made it in the slow cooker.
Last week I had a busy day and I didn’t think I would have time to even make this stir fry. I decided to throw all of the ingredients into the slow cooker pot. To be honest I was a little worried as to how this would taste but it was delicious. It’s definitely a hack I will be using in the future.

Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Pork was a hit in our house. We all really enjoyed this meal and it’s a dinner I think we will have again soon. It was quick to prepare and easy to cook. You could put the noodles in at the end of the dish if you want too. Plus you can make extra of this meal and freeze it. Plus it makes tasty leftovers too. However you decide to eat this meal, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
