Easy Sweet & Sour Pork Recipe

I got this recipe from my mother in law when I was first married.  It is quick and easy to make and our family enjoys it!  You can substitute chicken for the pork if you’d prefer.  We always use ham because I’ve got plenty of chicken recipes and this gives us something a little different!

Here’s the recipe:

Slow Cooker Cube Steak and Gravy Recipe

I’ve had a few different recipes for cube steak pinned on Pinterest for awhile and I’ve been wanting to try them.  It brings back memories of a recipe that my mom used to make when I was a kid using mushroom gravy and hamburger patties.  This recipe was a hit with my kids and with my husband, but I will say that the meat did dry out some after being in the slow cooker for so long (about 12 hours), so this is a recipe that I would say shouldn’t be left for more than 6-8 hours.
