Courters’ Kitchen: Pork loin in a slow cooker can serve up several meals

Slow cooked pork loin

KELLEY SAYS: The cold snap over the weekend made it the perfect time for a hearty meal with slow-cooked meat and tender vegetables. This a fairly simple meal to prepare, but it pays several dividends, not the least of which is good eating.

BARRY SAYS: Several times while the pork loin was cooking in the slow cooker, Kelley mentioned that we’d get a couple of good sandwiches out of it later on.

KELLEY: I definitely made this with the idea of getting several meals of it. For the first one, I served it with garlic mashed potatoes with some spinach mixed in. The meat is so tender and tasty.

BARRY: We didn’t start using a slow cooker until just a few years ago, but it has become a favorite tool in the kitchen for me. I love the way things like potatoes, carrots and even apples turn out. And, of course, meat in a slow cooker is pretty amazing.
