Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and nutrients to your casserole. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans.
Brown the pork before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
Use a thick and flavorful sauce. This will help to keep the pork moist and juicy.
Cook the casserole on low heat for 8-10 hours or on high heat for 4-6 hours. This will allow the pork to become tender and fall apart.
Serve the casserole with rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.
