Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Pork Loin with Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon pork rub seasoning, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
  • 1 (3 pound) pork loin roast
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Combine the pork rub seasoning and Chinese five-spice powder in a compact container.
2
Rub the resulting blend evenly across the surface of the pork roast.
3
Position sweet potatoes at the base of a slow cooker, followed by an addition of brown sugar and melted butter.
4
Carefully position the pork roast on top, sprinkling a pinch of salt and pepper over its surface.
5
Allow the roast to cook slowly over a prolonged period, 6 to 7 hours on Low setting.
