Pork Loin & Sweet Potatoes in Crockpot

Today we wanted a quick and easy dinner as Grenville and I decided to spend most of a beautiful day outdoors on a couple of Sunday strolls. Grenville will be posting photos later.
Dinner had to be something we could prepare before leaving and be ready by 6 p.m. We’ve having friends, Marty & Bob, join us for dinner around that time.
Solution: crock pot Sunday dinner.
Crock Pot Pork Roast with Sweet Potatoes

• 1 boneless pork loin roast, about 3 to 4 pounds
• 2 to 3 large sweet potatoes, chunked
• 2-3 carrots, chunked
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 C apple cider (not apple juice)
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• salt and pepper to taste or pork seasoning

Rub pork seasonings (or salt, pepper and garlic powder) on meat. Cut sweet potatoes and green peppers in large pieces and place in crock pot. Place pork loin on top. Mix remaining ingredients and pour over all; cook all day on low 8-9 hours or about 4 hours on high. Serve with a salad or green vegetable.

Note: For a thicker sauce, mix some flour with a bit of the juices and make a slurry, then add back into crock pot on high for 10-15 minutes.
Dessert will be freshly baked pumpkin pie. Last night, Grenville made one with pumpkins from our veggie garden. (We discovered a couple of frozen packages in the freezer this week.)

A perfect fall Sunday evening dinner with good friends.
Sorry you can’t all join us. Maybe another time.
