1 Prepare The Ingredients
Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1" dice.
Stem, seed, remove ribs, and cut red bell pepper into 1" dice.Remove husk on tomatillos, rinse again, cut tops off, and quarter. There's a sticky residue underneath the tomatillo husk, which is why a second rinse is needed. -

Turn slow cooker on to high heat. Cover, and cook for 3 1/2 hours.Make a cornstarch slurry. Stir into slow cooker and continue to cook until pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 30 minutes. -
