Slow cooker bacon garlic pork loin Crockpot Bacon Pork Loin is one of the best examples of why I love my slow cooker so much. First of all, the loin cut is super budget-friendly, full of protein, and can easily feed a large family. Secondly, making it in the slow cooker is the best way to prepare the meat. Those four to five hours inside the crockpot turns the loin into juicy, fork-tender meat. The brown sugar becomes a garlicky, slightly sweet glaze with a hit of paprika. Also, those smoky stripes of bacon take it over the top. I guarantee that your family and friends won’t know what hit them from the very first bite of this delicious meal.

Afterward, I let my slow cooker do its thing. Five hours later, I’ve got an unbelievable dish that’s beautiful enough for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, and easy enough for a weekday meal. What is the difference between pork loin and tenderloin? These two may sound similar, but they’re totally different cuts of meat. Pork loin comes from the animal’s back and is big enough to cut steaks from. Also, you can get it with or without the bone. On the other hand, pork tenderloin is boneless, leaner, usually a thin and long cut, and also known as pork fillet. Since they’re very different cuts, double-check that you’re getting the right one! Tenderloin cooks very quickly, which makes it ideal for grilling and searing. The loin cut is perfect for slow-cooked methods, like our recipe here.
