You know I love Chinese food. While San Francisco is rich with Chinese take-out options, getting delivery isn’t always the most healthy or inexpensive dinner idea. Since I was in the mood for Chinese and hadn’t used my crockpot in at least a week, I came up with this Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Pork recipe for an easy and healthy version of a classic Asian dish.

I grabbed baby portobello mushrooms for this recipe, and they didn’t taste quite right with the sauce. I think when I was doing my shopping, my boys were running up and down the produce section like wild animals, and I couldn’t think straight. Shitake mushrooms would have been a better choice if they were available and not crazy expensive, or white button mushrooms would have been fine too. Of course, you could also just leave out the mushrooms all together if you aren’t a fan! I used fresh pineapple, and it was delicious, but I made a note in the recipe that canned pineapple can be substituted. I hope you love this easy crockpot dinner!

    This recipe sounds great! I love when I can just slow-cook something and forget about it until dinner time. Thanks for sharing!
