Slow Cooker Pork Loin cooks up slow all day in the crock pot. The slow cooker does all the work and at the end of the day you have a succulent and juicy pork roast that is fall apart tender.

This recipe is one that I’ve adapted a little from Tricia Yearwood’s recipe in Home Cooking with Tricia Yearwood. It’s a convenient way to have a filling family meal on the table for a weeknight meal. Cook up some mashed potatoes and southern green beans to have yourself a blue plate special for lunch or dinner.

You do need to spend a few minutes searing the pork before you put it in the crockpot for best results. And it takes just a few minutes to make a gravy at the end from the juices in the crockpot. Besides that, this is a very hands off recipe.

It’s a mild gravy flavored with a little lemon juice and soy sauce, plus a touch of ground ginger and it tastes great served over mashed potatoes.

Notes

Instead of a pork loin, you could use a couple of pork tenderloins.
