Consider this a little new flavor for your crockpot meal rotations. When making pork loin I am pretty exclusive to the crock. They just do so well in there! There’s almost no other way! And then it shreds up so easily. And sweet potatoes as a side are one of our favorites. The hearty-but-still-sweet-ness is a perfect complement to so many savories. Including this pork right here.
