Nice flavor, turned out very well. My pork loin was almost 5 pounds, so I added a little more seasoning and an extra sweet potato, but I kept the brown sugar and butter the same. I also added 1/2 cup apple juice. The sweet potatoes came out really well.
I followed instructions for this slow-cooker recipe exactly, using a 3 pound, 3 ounce pork loin roast. Only modification to the ingredients was rubbing the roast prior to cooking with dried sage, which gave it an excellent aroma and added to the taste. While the cooking time of 6 hours on low was certainly adequate to cook the roast to the required internal temperature, juices from the roast turned the sweet potato cubes somewhat mushy. The roast itself, while done, was dry and we had to make pork gravy to make it easier to eat. I would suggest that the recipe be modified to use slightly larger than bite-size pieces of sweet potato to avoid the mushy consistency.
No changes and will make again
This was delicious and SO easy. I added a Vidalia sweet onion and wish I would have had more of the sweet potatoes. The pork was moist and tender and even my little kids ate it! Definitely will make this again.
We don’t care for sweet potatoes, so did this one without them - but kept the sugar. Didn’t have the Chinese spice but used a rib rub. Super yummy - best, most tender pork loin I have ever made and no mess! (I used a slow cooker liner.) I made 2 loins so i can mix one with noodles for later in the week.
Was super easy and super good
Delicious! will use more sweet potatoes and cut them larger so they don't get so mushy. Used leftover pork to make pulled pork sandwiches.
Loved it. Will make again.
This recipe is YUM! First time making this I used a small pork tenderloin seasoned with garlic salt and ground pepper and added a sliced onion along with the sweet potatoes, I did cut the sweet potatoes larger than bite size. The second time I made it I used 2 giant boneless chicken breasts since I cook for two, seasoned the meat with McCormick chicken seasoning and added the sliced onion along with the sweet potatoes. Delicious both ways.
