Cuban Pork and Sweet Potato Stew

whatwouldruthdo's Note:

Lean pork, fresh sweet potatoes, canned black beans and traditional Cuban flavors blend beautifully in your slow cooker to provide you with a healthy, easy weeknight meal that's special enough for company. If you are afraid of too much heat, use only one can of Rotel and substitute a can of diced tomatoes for the second can.
