Crockpot Pineapple Pork Loin - Easy and So Delicious!

 




 RECIPE AT THE TOP! CHIT-CHAT AT THE BOTTOM!


Crockpot Pineapple Pork Loin


  • 2- 3 lb pork loin (not the same as pork roast or pork tenderloin)
  • 2 Tablespoons oil 
  • salt & pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  •  23.5 oz can chunk pineapple (not drained)
INSTRUCTIONS:

TRIM:  Trim the fat off as best you can from the pork loin

BROWN:  Brown the meat on all sides in a skillet before adding to the crockpot.  (Not absolutely required but makes makes a richer flavor.

ADD:  Add pork loin to the crockpot.

SPRINKLE:  Sprinkle with garlic powder and salt/pepper.

TOP:  Top with pineapple, the juice, and soy sauce.

SPREAD:  Spread brown sugar evenly over the pork loin.

COOK:  Cook on low 6-8 hours OR on high 4-5 hours until fork tender.

OPTIONAL:  You could thicken the juice (before serving) with a mixture of a little flour blended into cold water and stirred in, then heated to thicken (like for gravy).

SERVE:  I served mine with rice and mashed potatoes (because Big Daddy doesn't like rice) and steamed vegetables.

Hello everyone!  

I made a new to me recipe last night and since it was such a winner, I decided to post here for future reference.  I definitely will be making this again.  

Pineapple Pork Loin tastes very much like Hawaiian Chicken except it's a ton easier.  The combo of pineapple and soy sauce is just over the top wonderful.  Doug and I both loved it!  If you like pork and sweet, asian flavors, you're going to love it too.

Lately, my Gerbes / Dillons grocery has been having huge discounts on pork loin.  I found several for $1.29/lb.  Cannot beat that!  Pork loin is our favorite cut of pork and I like to keep a few in the freezer for meals like this, for slicing as pork chops, and for making our go-to Tangy Pulled Pork.  Pork loin is lean and that's a must have at our house.

If you are looking for a cozy Sunday Supper, or weeknight crockpot meal, try this Pineapple Pork Loin.  You will love it and will be adding it to your family favorites!


Enjoy!
