We love this easy slow-cooker recipe on Sunday afternoons. It's equally comforting and light for lunch or dinner. We serve ours with sweet potato oven fries and roasted green beans. -Arlene Rakoczy, Gilbert, Arizona

I wasn't a big fan of the pineapple-mango salsa. I thought it was a little too sweet.

I found the pork to be a little dry. I think I should have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.
