Slow Cooker Pork Chile Verde

Quick, easy, and crowd pleasing is how I would describe this dish. It literally take less than 5 minutes to pull this recipe together in your crock pot and then just set it and forget it.  If you are not a fan of pork, simply swap it out with 2 pounds of chicken thighs.
