Italian Pork with Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

Directions

  • Combine fennel seeds, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Trim fat from meat. Sprinkle the fennel seed mixture evenly over the meat; rub in with your fingers. If necessary, cut the meat to fit into a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker (see Tip). Set aside.

  • Place sweet potatoes in the cooker. Add the meat. Pour broth over mixture in the cooker.

  • Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 5 hours.

  • Remove the meat from the cooker, reserving cooking juices. Slice the meat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sweet potatoes to a medium bowl. Use a potato masher to mash the sweet potatoes, adding enough of the cooking juices, if necessary, to moisten. Serve the meat with the mashed sweet potatoes.

Tips

Tip: For easy cleanup, line your slow cooker with a disposable slow cooker liner. Add ingredients as directed in recipe. Once your dish is finished cooking, spoon the food out of your slow cooker and simply dispose of the liner. Do not lift or transport the disposable liner with food inside.
