1 Crock Pot Pork Loin- 4 Meals

March 17, 2021 by Sharon

One crock pot pork loin; feed your family for a week. Sounds like a dream doesn’t it. Believe me, it’s not a dream. It can easily be your reality! Here’s some of my favorite meals to make with a chopped pork loin.

First, cook the pork loin. I do this by placing my pork loin in a crock pot seasoned with salt and pepper or any favorite seasonings. I have learned to add 1 whole onion. The onion cooks down so much that you hardly know its there, and onion acts as a natural meat tenderizer. Cook on low for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Chopped Pork Loin
I use two forks to shred the pork. Super easy!

Meal #1- Shredded Pork Bar-B-Q Sandwiches

Warm enough pork for however many sandwiches you need to make on the stove with bar-b-q sauce. I toasted sourdough bread for our sandwiches. It was delicious.

Meal #2- Shredded Pork Sour Cream Enchiladas.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Ingredients

2-3 Cups shredded pork

2 Cups Sour Cream

1-2 Cups New Mexico Green Chiles (or one can of green enchilada sauce if you can’t find green chiles)

1/2 onion

1 bell pepper

Corn or Flour Tortillas

Sauté onions and pepper.
Mix together sour cream and green chiles.
You can add more or less of either ingredient depending on your own tastes.
Add a small layer of sauce on the bottom of the pan.
Add corn or flour tortillas
Chopped Pork Loin Recipes
Continue layering, tortillas, pork, onions and peppers, and sauce.
Layer until all ingredients have been used.
Top with Monterey Jack Cheese.
Bake on 350 for 30-45 minutes.

I always add beans and pico de gallo with this type of meal.

Meal #3- Shredded Pork Spaghetti

This is just an old Chicken Spaghetti recipe, but Dr. T doesn’t really like to eat chicken so I’ve changed all my chicken casserole recipes to now use shredded pork.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Ingredients

1/2 – 1 whole onion diced

1 bell pepper diced

2-3 celery stalks diced

Cream of Mushroom Soup- 1 can

3 cups Sour Cream

Rotel Tomatoes- 1 can

1 box spaghetti pasta cooked and drained

Sauté onion, pepper and celery until cooked well.
Add sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, shredded pork, and Rotel tomatoes to sautéed vegetables.
Crock Pot Pork Loin
Add in spaghetti and place in a 9X13 baking dish. Top with cheddar cheese. Bake for 30-45 minutes until cheese is golden.

Meal #4 Shredded Pork Taco

The quickest and easiest meal by far is the shredded pork taco. Heat up shredded pork (sauté with onion and pepper if you wish). I also add a bit of chicken fajita seasoning. Add pork mixture and cheddar cheese inside a taco. It’s what’s for lunch!

Dr. T took a pork taco for his lunch every day. Yes, he really does eat a jalapeno with his meals.

There is nothing fancy about any of these meals, but it sure is nice to have such a variety without having to think of what meat I need to cook!
