Slow-Cooker Poblano Pork Loin
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 3 hours
YIELD: 8 servings.
We love seasonal poblano peppers, so this slow-cooker pork loin with many southwestern seasonings is a family favorite. It can be served in a variety of ways too. It’s fantastic with rice and beans, or in a taco with hot sauce. —Johnna Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona
