10 Delicious Crockpot Pork Recipes

cindy — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 10:00:57 +0000

Summer time is here and that means I really don’t want to use my oven every day to cook. Our thermostat for the house is located in the kitchen so when it gets hot in the kitchen the air conditioner runs a lot more than it really needs to. One way I like to cut down on using my oven, other than getting hubby to take me out to dinner , is to use my crockpot a few times a week. Using a crockpot or slowcooker doesn’t raise the kitchen temperature. Also using a crockpot is easy. Most recipes are set and forget so prep the meal in the morning and let it cook all day. Today I am bringing you 10 Delicious Crockpot Pork Recipes you can make this summer…and all year round. If you don’t own a crockpot, I recommend the Crockpot 6 qt Programmable Cook and Carry Oval Slow Cooker, it will meet all of your crockpot cooking needs.

When the recipe for Grilled Asian BBQ Pork Chops made it’s way into my mailbox from eMeals, I knew I had to add it to my meal plan. eMeals is a subscription menu planning service that drops a weekly meal plan complete with recipes and shopping lists right into your mailbox once a week.

Asian BBQ Pork Chops

The recipe from eMeals said to cook 5 minutes per side but that was no where near cooked enough. It actually took us about 15 minutes per side to reach an internal temperature of 160°.

Prep Time 5

Cook Time 20

Total Time 25

Servings 5 -6 chops

Author cindy

Ingredients

1 cup ketchup
6 TBS honey
4 TBS soy sauce
4 cloves garlic minced
1 1/2 lbs boneless pork chops
salt
pepper

Instructions

Combine the ketchup, honey, soy sauce and garlic in a bowl.
Season chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
Brush each chop with sauce to coat.
Grill over medium-high heat, until internal temperature reaches 160° (approximately 7-10 minutes per side) but use your meat thermometer!

We all enjoyed this recipe and Aaron did a great job grilling. I can’t say it enough though, use your meat thermometer! Use the time given in the recipe as a guideline but grills vary widely and you don’t want to eat under cooked pork.

Crockpot Apple Barbecue Pork Loin

Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will add value to my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”Up until I started blogging recipes, we were in a very big food rut. We ate the same food over and over again. Our meat selections included boneless skinless chicken breasts, boneless pork chops, ground round and petite sirloin steaks. In the last year or so we have tried several new and different cuts of meat and most of them we have enjoyed. Recently I received a pork loin in a bag from the food pantry. I have eaten pork loin before but I have never cooked it. I headed to Pinterest and searched for recipes. I came across several recipes that looked interesting, so I guess I’ll be buying more pork loin, but a pin for Apple Barbecue Pork Loin stood out the most.

This recipe was very easy to make, it took about 5 minutes of prep time, not including defrosting the pork loin. We gobbled it up and had just a little bit left over for pulled pork sandwiches the next day.

Crockpot Apple Barbecue Pork Loin

This easy and delicious recipe is great fpr a week night dinner or a large family gathering.
