I love this recipe! The pork is always so tender and juicy. I like to serve it with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. It's a classic comfort food meal that my whole family loves.

This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. I can just throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner is ready when I get home from work. It's also great for meal prep, as it can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready

This was a good recipe, but I made a few changes. I used chicken broth instead of water and added some chopped carrots and celery. The results were delicious!

Not a fan of this one. The pork was tough and the potatoes were mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe is okay. The pork was a bit dry and the potatoes were bland. I think it needs more seasoning. I'll try it again with some adjustments.
