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!
Gina
