Cooking

  2. Drizzle some of the leftover sauce from the crock pot over the dish.
Storage
  1. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

For extra flavor, sear the pork loin before placing it in the crock pot. You can add more vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for added nutrition. Adjust sweetness or saltiness by modifying the brown sugar or soy sauce.
