Korean Pork Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

It’s official. My crockpot has taken up permanent residency on my countertop. I put it away only to bring it right back out again! Can you relate?? It’s officially cool weather food season!

I love to cook using my slow cooker because it’s so darn easy to just throw all the ingredients in the cooker and let it do all the hard work (while I’m busy working!)

Did that make you as hungry as it did me? There is something special about sweet potatoes cooked in the crockpot. They come out so tender and delicious! Pairing the potatoes with spicy and flavorful pork and crunchy veggies on top… this recipe totally rocked my world, and you’re going to love it too!
