I have never used my slow cooker as much as I’m using it now! Cook once, eat twice meals (like this Slow Cooker Honey Beer Pork) are an integral part of my meal plan service so I’ve been testing and developing SO. MANY. SLOW COOKER MEALS.
Which is awesome, because as much as I love spending time in the kitchen, I also love easy and healthy meals that don’t require a ton of time to prep.
So let me tell you about this meal…
