pork loin (slow cooker)
There is plenty of slow cooker pork chop recipes that use dry seasoning packets and gravy. For where I live, pork chops are available once in a while, but pork loin is very available. The seasoning packets are not available although I have made them from a shortcut at times, and they are normally loaded with salt. This is my version without the processed seasoning packets and no added salt. So for this, I used fresh onion, garlic, and dill (from my garden). The gravy packets I use are a Thai brand and are exactly what I can make from a shortcut as well. And these are excellent!

How To Make pork loin (slow cooker)
-
1I am going to use use fresh onion, garlic, and dill, and no added salt. -
2Tesco has excellent pork loin (I live in Thailand), can get 3 to 4 thick slices from each piece. Here is the 6 pieces I am going to use for this recipe.
-
3Place the diced onion in the bottom of your slow cooker. Place a layer of pork loin, then sprinkle with half the pepper, parsley, garlic, and dill. Place another layer of pork loin and sprinkle the remaining pepper, parsley, garlic, and dill.
-
4Prepare your chicken gravy, I use Lobo brand (Thai product which is very good), or you can use what every gravy packet you like to make the gravy, or make it from scratch. Let the gravy cool for a few minutes, then pour over the pork loin, do worry if the dill sort of floats away in places, it is all cooked together.
-
5Set the cooker to Low setting for 6 to 8 hours, cover and cook for 6 hours without removing the cover, then check the tenderness. Time is variable with thickness of the slices. for thin, less than 1 inch check at 6 hours, for 1 inch check at 7 hours, for 1 1/2 inch check at 7 and you may need to cook another hour. If not tender, cook for another hour and check again. Once tender, if not serving right away, just switch the cooker to Warm setting.
-
6Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta, and spoon the gravy over everything, add a vegetable for a side and you have a complete meal. Enjoy.
