GOOD OL' SOUTHERN PORK STEW

Steps:

• Place beef broth, boullion cubes, boneless pork chops, vegetables, vinegar, and spices into the crock pot. Topping it off with the water and then the chunks of butter. Put the lid on and walk away.
• Turn the crock pot to high and cook for approximately 5 hours, longer if your not going to be home that soon it won't hurt it.
