Slow Cooker Sweet and Tangy Pork

I use my crockpot a lot. At the very least, I make a meal in it every Tuesday so that my husband will have a meal waiting for him when he gets home; even though that is the night I work late each week. Most of the meals I make are alright, but every once in a while, I stumble across one that is exceptional. The following is one such meal.


1 onion, sliced
4-5 small potatoes, sliced
1 large pork loin roast

Layer all three of these ingredients in the crock-pot. I highly recommend using a Slow Cooker Liner; it makes life easier. Next, make the sauce

1 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
black pepper, salt and garlic powder to taste
a few dashes hot sauce

Mix all of the above ingredients and pour over pork loin, potatoes and onion.
Set your crock-pot to low and cook for 8-10 hours. It will turn out juicy, delicious, and completely satisfying. For the original recipe, see below.

Tuna Pizza

Okay, this recipe sounds a little strange, but it has become a staple in my house. My husband loves it and it is quick and easy for lunch or dinner.

1 ready made pizza crust
2 cans tuna (drained)
1/2 red onion chopped
1 container spreadable cream cheese
1 package shredded mozzarella cheese
crushed red pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread cream cheese over pizza crust. Next, layer tuna on top of cream cheese, sliced red onion over tuna, and shredded mozzarella on top.  Finally, sprinkle with crushed red pepper and bake for 20 minutes. Enjoy. So quick and so good!
