Some people ask if you can make your Pork Loin in a slow cooker or instant pot. The answer is yes! If you want the meal to slow cook and be ready when you get home for work then this is the perfect option.
The Pork loin cooks well in a slow cooker especially if you stuff it or wrap it in spinach or bacon. Remember to always use the HIGH setting of the cooker for pork.
I have used an apple based stuffing and it is delicious. Especially this time of year when apples are in season. I live near an orchard and have access to all varieties of apples. A bit of applesauce on the side makes for a great combination.
You can add root vegetables such as sweet potatoes, carrots, or squash right in the slow cooker to be finished when the pork loin is ready to serve.
Remember to increase cooking time as it will keep some of the heat from cooking the pork.
In general you should cook a pork loin 25 minutes a pound for a 3 pound loin used in this recipe.
If you have never tried to cook a Pork Loin, this recipe is the easiest you will find.
It is delicious no matter what else you add to the meal.
I just know your family will love this recipe as much as we do.
