Classic Pozole

Submitted by DSimone

"This is a variation of a Bon Appetit recipe, utilizing a crock pot to shorten the prep time. The recipe makes a lot but is so wonderful that you'll enjoy having so much left over! You can cook the pork ahead of time in the crock pot and throw together the recipe in 40 minutes. I substitute black bean for the pinto beans."
