Easy Dinner: Shredded Pork with Sweet Potatoes, Green Beans, and BACON


It's so nice to be able to make a healthy dinner for my family that is quick and easy to prepare. With a few minutes of prep in the morning, this dinner requires less than 30 minutes of prep in the evening. 

For the Pork:

4-6 lbs pork loin roast
1 can organic diced tomatoes
1 can organic tomato sauce

the following seasonings are all to taste, I don't measure them, I just eyeball it:
Pepper
Garlic
Italian Seasoning
Salt
Onion

Put the seasonings on the bottom of your crock pot. Then put the pork roast on top. Then pour over the sauce and tomatoes. Cover and set your crock pot on high for 7-8 hours. When the time is up, shred your pork with a couple forks and serve.

For the veggies:

3 medium-large organic sweet potatoes
1 tsp organic coconut oil
8 slices bacon
1 lb organic green beans

In a deep skillet, melt your coconut oil. Chop your bacon into small pieces and add to pan on mid-high heat. While the bacon is cooking, chop your sweet potatoes and trim your green beans. Add in the sweet potatoes and stir. Continue cooking for about 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally. Then add the green beans in the final 5-10 minutes and stir. Serve alongside your pork roast for a complete meal.
