Crockpot Pork & Chiles II

I'm always up for a new crockpot recipe.  This one is similar in a lot of ways to one of my favorites, but ends up very different...

Recipe

1 lb pork kebabs or roast
2 tsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken or veggie broth
1 cup tomato paste
1 can (15 oz) black beans (drained & rinsed)
1 can (4.5 oz) diced chiles
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp sugar (or honey)
salt & pepper

Put it in the crockpot and cook low for 4-5 hours (longer for a roast).

Notes

This one ends up with a much thicker sauce - tomato and bean-based - than the other, brothier recipe.  It can mask the chiles a bit, but still a good one!
