Slow Cooker Garlic Stuffed Pork Loin is an incredible recipe, easy to make, and you can mix it up with SO many different types of seasonings and flavors.

And entire head of garlic will go into this 3 to 4 pound half pork loin (not pork tenderloin).

The garlic flavor is not overwhelming, as the garlic kind of melts into the pork as it slow cooks for hours.

I used an all purpose seasoning with course bits of garlic, peppercorns, onion, thyme, and parsley.

How to Make Slow Cooker Garlic Stuffed Pork Loin

All you need to begin is a half pork loin and a head of garlic.

Separate the cloves from the head of garlic and peel the skins.

I smash them with the flat side of the knife to make the skin easier to peel.

Then cut each clove into smaller pieces to make them more…. ummmm… stuffable 😉

Place the pork loin in the slow cooker/ Crock Pot.

Then pierce some holes using a knife for the garlic.

Get yourself an adorable kitchen buddy like my grandson who LOVES cooking with GiGi 🙂

He handed me the garlic and I did the stuffing part.

Just place half of the garlic on the first side of the pork.

Then a drizzle of olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, and whatever seasoning blend you are using.

This sweet boy did a great job seasoning the first side.

Flip the pork over and stuff the other side with the rest of the garlic.

A drizzle of olive oil on this side and more kosher salt, pepper, and your seasoning blend.

Turn the slow cooker on low for 7 to 8 hours.

No need for any liquid or anything else, just let it go for the day 🙂

This sauce is optional, but OH so yummy.

It’s a dijon cream sauce that you could serve with any chicken, steak, or another cut of pork too.

How to make the sauce for Slow Cooker Garlic Pork Loin

First set a skillet over medium heat and once hot, add two Tablespoons butter.

After the butter melts add minced garlic or garlic paste and cook for about a minute.

Next add a cup of heavy cream, a cup of chicken broth, dijon mustard, and parsley (or another herb such as rosemary or thyme).

Then bring this to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.

Let me just prepare you, the aroma in your kitchen is going to be incredible!

This will shred with just two fork if your are going for pulled or shredded pork.

I chose to slice my Slow Cooker Garlic Stuffed Pork Loin with Dijon Cream Sauce

If you shred yours it’s great on a sandwich or wrap, you could even add your favorite store bought sauce if you don’t make the cream sauce.

We enjoyed half of this sliced up and I shredded the other half to make Cheesy Cuban Casserole.
