One pot slow cooker miso pork & butter beans
This slow cooked miso pork and butter bean is super easy and the meat can easily be swapped for chicken or lamb. A slow cooker is a great way to use up cheaper cuts of meat, keeping the food budget down. Even better when prep is minimal and it all cooks while you’re at work to come back to your own homemade “ready meal”! I love my slow cooker all year round, but especially in autumn and winter. A perfect recipe to cook once and eat twice!
