Serving Size: 6
Cooking Time: 250 minutes
Ingredients
- 3 Pounds (lb) boneless pork loin roast
- 16 Ounces (oz) whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 Medium onion, sliced
- 0.33 Cups French salad dressing
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
- 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
- 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) olive oil
Steps
- Prepare the Pork Loin: Season the pork loin with kosher salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step enhances the flavor and locks in the juices.
- Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the whole berry cranberry sauce, sliced onion, and French salad dressing. Stir until well mixed.
- Assemble in Slow Cooker: Place the seared pork loin in the slow cooker. Pour the cranberry mixture over the pork, ensuring it is well coated.
- Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours or on High for 4 hours. The pork is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- Rest and Serve: Once cooked, let the pork loin rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice is moist and flavorful. Serve with your choice of sides, such as rice and onion rings, for a complete meal.
