Ingredients:
  • 1 kg Pork Tenderloin
  • 1 package Hot Italian Sausage (3-5 sausages)
  • 340ml jar sliced artichoke hearts
  • 210ml jar sundried tomatoes
  • 2 handfuls of baby potatoes
  • 1 White Onion
  • 2 Bell Peppers (try different colours for a brighter looking meal!)
  • 2 big handfuls of baby potatoes
  • Spices: dried oregano, thyme, and basil, salt & pepper to taste
Preparation

The Night Before: Cut pork tenderloin into 2-inch sections, then cut sausages, potatoes and onion into chucks and add everything into crockpot. (Start with only 3 sausages and see how much room you have in your pot before adding all 5).  Add full jar of artichoke hearts and sundried tomatoes, along with ½ jar of the “juices” from each jar. Add seasoning to taste. Put in fridge and leave for the next day.

The Next Morning: Before going to school, (preferably around 10:30am) put slow cooker on low heat and leave for 8 hours. About 6 hours in, cut bell peppers into large chunks and add to pot. Take off heat when meat is fully cooked through.

Serve and enjoy!
