Sweet and Sour Crockpot Pork

I love sweet and sour anything,
and when you get it with bacon
it's a bonus flavor for sure.
This is a fabulous crockpot meal.

Ingredients:
2 pounds boneless pork, cut into 1" chunks
6 or 8 strips of smoked bacon
2 teaspoons sweet smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, peeled and sliced
2 green bell peppers, cut into chunks
16 ounce bag baby carrots
2 (13 ounce) cans pineapple chunks
1/3 cup vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice

Directions:
Sprinkle pork with paprika, salt, and pepper.
In heavy skillet heat olive oil and brown pork,
stirring frequently, for about 4-5 minutes.
Place onions, peppers, and carrots in
4-5 quart slow cooker and top with pork and bacon.
Drain pineapple and reserve 1-1/2 cups juice.
Pour 1 cup juice into crockpot and reserve
1/2 cup juice and the pineapple chunks.
Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours
until vegetables and pork are cooked.
In small bowl, combine vinegar, sugar, cornstarch,
soy sauce, and 1/2 cup pineapple juice; mix well.
Stir into crockpot along with pineapple chunks.
Cook on high for 10-15 minutes
until sauce is thickened. Serve over rice.
