    This easy Slow Cooker Pork Loin and Potato Dinner is perfectly seasoned because the work is already done for you.

    Using a pre-marinated pork loin starts you off with an already tasty and moist product.

    Just toss it in the crockpot with a few other ingredients and dinner is on the way.

    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.

    Ingredients

    The ingredient list for this pork dinner is small and easy.

    All ingredients on a wooden cutting board background. All ingredients have text label.
    • Pork - pre-marinated pork loin, any flavor is fine but I use the garlic and herb
    • Potatoes - baby potatoes or larger potatoes cut into smaller chunks
    • Broth - I like chicken broth but also vegetable broth is great
    • Butter
    • Seasonings - salt and pepper. You can add to this if you like, perhaps some garlic powder, onion powder etc.
    • Oil - olive oil or avocado oil

    This crockpot meal isn't one of my typical quickie 30 minute meals but the prep is under 30 minutes so I call that a win.

    Why you'll love this slow cooker pork loin

    The thing that makes this crockpot pork so good is that the result is similar to an oven-roasted pork loin.

    Most other slow cooker pork recipes I see result in a pulled or shredded pork. That's all find and dandy but sometimes you just want a roasted pork that isn't that, right?

    How to make Slow Cooker Pork Loin

    First, I browned the pork loin filet in a skillet. 

    The first thing I do is brown the pork in a skillet. This is optional but I prefer it.

    Pork loin in a large skillet on the stove. The pork appears to be browning.

    While the pork is browning on the stovetop, I place the potatoes and broth in the slow cooker.

    Then, I put the pork right on top of the potatoes and then the butter over the pork.

    I slow cook for about five hours on low. This time may differ for you depending on your slow cooker. Mine tends to cook hot.

    Over head view of the inside of the crockpot. Inside is the browned pork loin, topped with butter and surrounded by potatoes and broth.

    Add some veggies to the mix! After about 4 hours, throw in some green beans!

    That's it. It is that easy. Slice the pork and serve with potatoes.

    Make sure you spoon the cooking liquid over the top of everything!

    If you aren't into the slow cooker thing or you just want to try something different, give this Cast Iron Pork Tenderloin a try. Or, if you are into sheet pan meals, I have a great recipe for Sheet Pan Pork with Veggies.

    I actually have quite a few delicious and easy pork recipes but here are a few of my favorites:

    • Grilled Pork Loin Filet w/ Green Beans 
    • Quick & Easy Pork Tenderloin w/ Foil Packet Potatoes
    • Pork Loin Sliders
    • Balsamic Cherry Grilled Pork

    Leftovers

    It isn't often we have leftover pork because it is so good!

    If for some reason you do end up with any pork leftovers, don't forget, leftover pork makes an awesome addition to a skillet hash and top it all off with an egg!

    Yum - perfect breakfast or lunch!

    Recommended Equipment

    • Slow Cooker
    • Ninja Possible Pan -for browning the pork
    • Silicone Tipped Tongs

    Calories 292 kcal

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 Package Smithfield Roasted Garlic & Herb Fresh Pork Loin Filet or other flavor, 27.2 ounce package
    • 1 ½ Pound baby potatoes
    • ½ Teaspoon salt kosher
    • ¼ Teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
    • 4 Tablespoon butter (half stick)
    • ¾ C up chicken broth

    Instructions
     

    • Heat oil in a skillet over medium/high heat. Place pork loin filet in pan and cook 4-5 minutes until browned. Turn over and brown other side. Set aside.
    • Pour broth into slow cooker. Place potatoes in slow cooker and season with salt and pepper. Arrange pork loin filet over potatoes and top pork loin filet with butter. Cover slow cooker and set to low for 5 hours.
    • After 5 hours, remove pork loin filet and slice. Spoon cooking liquid over both the pork loin filet and potatoes and serve. Pork should read at least 145 °F with a quick-read thermometer.

    Notes

    • If you would like to add green beans to this dish.  Place about 12 oz fresh green beans to slow cooker with 30-60 minutes left to cook time.
    • If you are pressed for time you can omit the step of browning.  I just prefer both the taste and the look of the browning.

      The recipe has instructions but not a list of ingredients. How big was your pork loin? How much broth?

      I was looking for something easy to make and came across this recipe, and I am so glad I did!!!! I had a garlic and pepper pork loin and used that instead, it was delicious!!I did use 2 of the whole canned potatoes and it was just as good. My husband said it was one of the best meals ever! Thank you for posting this deliciousness!

      Do the mini potatoes need to be quartered?

        No. I use the baby potatoes so I don't have to cut them at all!

        It is recommended to thaw a pork loin before slow cooking. There is a danger of having the pork stay in the danger zone temps for too long if you do not. That being said, I know some people who do it and they say it takes about one and a half times longer to cook.
