Slow Cooker Pork and Cabbage

If you're a bandster, use the ground pork. I ground up the pork chops before cooking, but even the bite size bits were too big. I'm not normally fond of cabbage, but this was sweet and delicious! Give it a try. Oh, and have some chicken stock standing by. My slow cooker started to dry the recipe out, but the addition of a cup of stock worked well.
