Recipe for Slow Cooker Southwest Pork and Peppers

Shredded pork in the slow cooker is about the easiest thing ever.  It turns out perfect pretty much every time and it’s not labor intensive at all.  That’s kind of how I like to roll in my kitchen so I really appreciated this easy and flavorful recipe for Southwest Pork and peppers.  I used fresh red and green bell peppers plus a can of green chiles to give the pork a flavor boost.  In addition there were onions and plenty of chili powder and cumin to give it some oomph.  It’s also got a creamy consistency thanks to the addition of sour cream at the end.  We served ours over rice with some Fritos and it tasted great.  You could also serve this over sandwiches or wrapped up in tacos.
