 Test Kitchen Tips: For easy meal planning, prepare the pork in a slow cooker. Reserve remaining pork for other meals. To use a slow cooker instead of bringing mixture to a boil and simmering, place cooked onion and all other ingredients except toppings in slow cooker crock. Cook 3 to 4 hours on HIGH or 6 to 8 hours on low. Add toppings as listed above.
