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.
