Method
-
Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Brown the pork in batches for five to seven minutes until browned. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to the slow cooker.
-
Add the onion to the pan and cook for three to four minutes until softened. Add a splash of the broth to deglaze, scraping up the browned bits. Add everything in the pan to the slow cooker.
-
Add the remaining broth, diced tomatoes, oregano, potato, carrot, and mushrooms to the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper. Stir gently to combine. Cover and cook on low for eight hours or on high for six hours.
-
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in the green beans. Once done, divide evenly between bowls or plates and enjoy!

Notes
This recipe is sure to please everyone. Imagine coming home from work after a long day, and the first thing you notice is the aroma of a warm dinner waiting for you. You sigh with relief, knowing that the work has already been done, and you are ready to sit down to eat.
Try it with different seasonings to change the flavors. You can change it up to have more of an Italian flair by adding Italian seasoning, basil, and lentils or white beans like great northern. Or, make it have a Mexican-inspired flavor by adding cumin, paprika, chili powder, and cilantro. Any way you make it, add some crusty whole wheat bread on the side and watch everyone dig in!
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
