This Slow Cooker Pork Loin and Potato Dinner is a tasty choice for those busy weeknights we all seem to have once the kids are back to school. Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe  I know I rave about my Instant Pot and yes, I love making pork tenderloin in the Instant Pot but sometimes I just want to toss something in a slow cooker and forget about it. This is one of those times. Slow Cooker Pork Loin and Potato Dinner!Chances are if your schedule is anything like mine (and I bet it is), once September rolls around, not only are the kids back in school but there is soccer, CCD, gymnastics, scouts etc. You can fill in the activity but having kids means having some kind of activities. Did I mention the homework? Ugh, I hate homework as much now as I did as a kid! My point is, all of a sudden, dinner seems a lot more difficult to pull together. This time of year is definitely when I use my slow cooker and my Instant Pot the most. I need as many "hands-off" type recipes I can get and I'm sure you can too. One of the staples in my fridge for quick (yet worthy) meals has always been and will always be Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork. In case you missed my gazillion other posts highlighting Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork (I'll leave a list of those recipes towards the bottom of this post), they are the perfect solution to what to cook in about 30 minutes on a busy weeknight. What is not to love about perfectly marinated, perfectly seasoned fresh pork that cooks up quickly AND I can find at Walmart during my regular Walmart run? Am I right? So this recipe isn't exactly a 30 minute meal but it does take less than 30 minutes to prep and the rest of the work is done in a slow cooker. So if it's less than 30 minutes of hands-on cooking, I consider it a 30 minute meal. What makes this Slow Cooker Pork Dinner different than other slow cooker pork dinners?I'll tell you what! Most slow cooker pork recipes I stumble upon result in a shredded (or pulled) pork at the end. I didn't want that. I wanted a pork roast just like I would get from roasting in the oven. To achieve this result here's what I did:First, I browned the pork loin filet in a skillet. This step is totally optional and you don't have to do it, especially if you're pressed for time. But if you have an extra couple of minutes, why not? Next, I placed my baby potatoes in the slow cooker with the broth and I placed my browned pork loin filet over the potatoes. And on top of the pork loin filet, I placed the butter. I popped the lid on and set it to low setting for 5 hours. Side note: After about 4 hours I threw in some green beans but again, that's totally optional. That's all. Once it's all cooked, I slice the pork loin filet and serve with the potatoes and green beans. I also spoon the cooking liquid right over everything. If you aren't familiar (why not?

How long does pork take in the slow cooker?How long to cook a pork roast in the slow cooker – for pork loin, 4 to 5 hours on low for tender, juicy perfection. Pork shoulder needs to be cooked for 10 hours on low for a 1.5 – 2.5kg / 3 – 5 lb pork roast.
Do I need to add liquid to slow cooker pork?Does pulled pork in the slow cooker need liquid? No. When making pulled pork in the slow cooker I add a small amount of extra liquid for flavor but it's not a necessity. Because there is a good amount of fat and water in pork shoulder roasts you don't have to add extra liquid when making pulled pork.
