This pork loin roast was full of flavor and was moist thanks to the slow cooking in butter for several hours. This is one of my new favorite crock pot pork recipes now.
This recipe was inspired by my crock pot ranch pork chops recipe. This recipe allows the entire meal to be in once crock pot leaving nothing for me to do unless I want a hot vegetable side dish. A bag of steamed vegetables or quickly sauteed brussels sprouts goes well with this pork loin.

How to Make Crock Pot Pork Loin Roast and Potatoes
To make this pork loin and potatoes before you leave the house, the hardest part will be quartering the red potatoes. If you want to save yourself time, by small bite-sized potatoes that you can just put in the crock pot whole or quick cut in half. Once the potatoes are quartered into bite-size pieces, mince some garlic, and slice some onions.
Then melt four tablespoons of butter and mix one tablespoon of ranch seasoning
into the melted butter. This ranch butter will coat the potatoes, onions, and garlic which will serve as the bed for the pork loin roast.
Pour the ranch butter over the potatoes and mix to coat completely. Next, dump the potatoes, onions, and garlic in the 6-quart crock pot
.
To prepare the pork loin roast, coat all sides of the roast in two tablespoons of ranch seasoning on the pork loin. Place the pork loin fat side down in the crock pot and add more minced garlic on the top. Finally, plce four tablespoons of butter across the pork loin.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the pork reaches 145° in the middle of the loin. Move the crock pot to warm until you are ready to eat.
To serve the pork loin, slice, and serve. These slices are also perfect as a pork loin sandwich if you need to eat on the go or want to change up the dinner routine.

Hi,
I'm going to make this! Is it ok if I brown the pork loin before putting it in the crock pot? For me, the browning gives it a more appealing look. Also, if using pre-crushed garlic in the jars, what would you suggest for the measurement? Thanks so much!
I think browning before you put in the crock pot is a great idea. Also, I would do two teaspoons of jarred garlic. Enjoy!
Just wondering how this turned out?
I was going to do this for dinner tonight but completely forgot to set it up this morning! Is there a conversion for the IP?
Pork very tender and juicy. So tasty! The potatoes were a bit mushy for our taste- I guess my crockpot cooked faster than the recipe intended.
Could you add carrots to this also. If so how long should carrots cook with it.
I would not adjust the cooking time. Just add the carrots. Hope it turns out well!
