Ground Pork Slow Cooker Casserole

Step 1

Slice the scallions. Mince the garlic. Dice the carrot.

Step 2

Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and ground pork. Break up the meat with a spatula so that you get an even layer. Let the pork get browned for about 3-4 minutes. Stir to really break up the pieces and so that it browns on all sides and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Transfer the pork to the slow cooker insert.

Step 3

To the slow cooker insert pot with the pork, add the rice, chicken broth, tomato paste, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, scallions (reserve 1 tablespoon for garnish), garlic, and carrots. Stir the ingredients together. Make sure that the rice is mixed in and completely submerged in liquid. Cover the slow cooker and set on high for 4 hours.

Step 4

In a bowl, add the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Whip together with a whisk or in a food processor.

Step 5

When the slow cooker is done, mix in the cream cheese mixture. You can optionally add shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover to let it melt.

Step 6

Serve and garnish with scallions. Enjoy!
