We love this low-fuss, set-it-and-forget-it, hearty pork stew. Simply combine all the ingredients in your slow cooker, let it cook for 7 hours while you're at work or running around town, and dinner is ready to go when you get back. If you want to mix things up, your servings can be garnished with chopped cilantro leaves, pickled jalapeño rings, and/or low-fat sour cream, if desired. Also, when you're prepping, be sure to cut the butternut squash and pork into 1-inch chunks so they’ll be evenly sized in the bowls and so they don’t fall apart during the long cook time.
