This yummy recipe for Crockpot Pork Cacciatore is the perfect winter slow cooker meal! Fresh pork tenderloin, green peppers, mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes served over spaghetti - your family will be asking for this healthy pork recipe again and again!

This winter has been rather annoying, at least in my neck of the woods. Here in Central Pennsylvania, so far this year we've had bitter cold temperatures and wind, but very little snow.
Now, I'm always one to admit that I'm rare - I actually look forward to winter. I'm an introvert and a homebody. The idea of being snowed in and snuggled up with my favorite people under a big blanket and sipping hot chocolate is pretty much my idea of perfection. Actually, it makes me remember the days when I was a teacher having to take Silas and Wesley to day care in the morning before Paul and I had to get to work. I was SO excited to wake up early in the morning to check the news stations and see if the school I taught had canceled school because of snow.
It meant that I had an entire day to spend with my babies.

So, yes, I have very fond memories of wintertime with my sweet family. This year, though? No snow to cancel school. No snow to watch the boys play in for hours. Just bitter cold and I'm getting tired of it.
I'm ready for spring! And I'm ready for all the beautiful, delicious spring produce. I can't wait to start planting a garden in our backyard. Unfortunately, it's still a few months away - at least where we live. This is exactly why I turn to wonderfully filling dinner recipes, filled with colorful vegetables that can be found year round.

This Crockpot Pork Cacciatore calls for green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes along with Smithfield� Prime Fresh Pork Tenderloin. It's a simple recipe that's perfect for the busy week ahead - just set it in the slow cooker and allow it to do all the work for you! I served this cacciatore over cooked spaghetti, but it would be wonderful over any pasta you may have in your pantry, or even cooked rice.
