Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker/Crock Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounce pork loin We used a frozen loin.
  • 2 large sweet potatoes Cut into wedge-shape slices
  • 16 ounces Italian dressing
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 16 ounces water

Instructions
 

  • Coat the bottom of the Crock-Pot with the olive oil.
  • Add sweet potatoes, which I'd cut into wedge-shaped clices.
  • Place pork loin in the bottom of the Crock-Pot, on top of the sweet potatoes.
  • Pour Italian dressing over the pork and potatoes.
  • Add the two cups of water.
  • Place the top on the Crock put and set the slow cooker on high for eight hours.

Notes

Now, I used high because the pork loin was frozen solid. I imagine that if you're cooking with a thawed or fresh pork loin, you can put it on low for eight hours.
The pork just fell apart when I cut into it to serve it. It behaved like pulled pork, which we love. You can use the leftover pork in tacos tomorrow night.
