Slow cooking is a good way to cook lean cuts of pork, because steam from the long simmering helps to tenderize the meat. It's also the epitome of convenience, as you just have to do a little prep in the morning and then let it cook away while you're running errands or at work all day. You'll want to sear the pork first before adding it to the slow cooker, but that will only take 6 minutes out of your day. The comforting combination of tender pork, sauerkraut, apples, and beer is insanely satisfying, and is also delicious with bakery-fresh rye or pumpernickel bread.
