Slow Cooker Pork Loin Recipe

Pork Loins are a lean, tender and juicy cut of meat as long as you don’t overcook it. It is the perfect meat for Thanksgiving if you don’t care for turkey or need extra meat. Don’t confuse Pork Loin with Pork Tenderloin as they are two different cuts of pork.

Place the sliced onion on the bottom of the slow cooker.

Lay the pork loin on top of the onions, fat side up.

Sprinkle the dry ingredients over the top and sides of the pork loin.

Pour the water into the slow cooker then add pats of butter on the top of the pork loin.

Cook on low for 3-4 hours or just until the center is at least 145º but not much higher. Check it frequently after 3 hours so you don’t overcook the pork loin and dry it out. Remove from the slow cooker and place on a platter. Let it rest for 10 minutes, slice and serve.
