Slow Cooker Pork Stew over Brown Rice

Name: Slow Cooker Pork Stew over Brown Rice
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: 8
Ingredients: 2 pounds lean pork stew meat; 3 cups baby carrots; 1 large onion, sliced; 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves; 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1 clove garlic, minced; 1 1/2 cups complete bran and wheat flakes ready-to-eat cereal; 1 cup dried tart cherries; 3/4 cup 100% apple juice or apple cider; 4 cups hot cooked brown rice

Apple juice and dried fruit add a touch of sweetness to this stew. This dish can be put together in minutes and then left to simmer in your slow cooker. Served over brown rice, it’s a great comfort food to have waiting at the end of a long day. The crushed cereal acts as a thickener and adds a nutty flavor to the stew. Try substituting dried apricots or cranberries for the cherries as desired.
