Do you think it would be okay to cook it on Low for a longer time? I am away from home for more than 6 hours and have totally burnt some crock pot meals in the past.

This was absolutely delicious! I followed another’s suggestion and added a sliced onion and some garlic. Highly recommended, especially over spaghetti squash.

Ok, so this was fantastic. I was a little skeptical (I don’t often make pork, I don’t often use my crock pot), but it was so, so good! I used a pork tenderloin (as opposed to a pork loin roast, etc.) and seared it before putting it into the slow cooker. I also sliced and tossed in half an onion I had lying around and 4 whole cloves garlic. My can of sauce didn’t cover my meat to my liking, so I also added 1/4 c. water (however I don’t think this was necessary). I cooked on high for 4 hours, at which point it was done according to my quick read thermometer. Having read the above comments about mushy veggies, I didn’t add my cauliflower and zucchini until the last 1 or 2 hours (already forgotten!). The veggies turned out perfect. At 4 hours, I turned it to low for 30 more minutes until I was ready to eat, at which point the meat fell apart as I removed it to portion out four meals. Amazing.

@Ted – You could if you want, but it’s supposed to be a quick meal, so you might just want to leave it whole.

Do I cube the pork loin?

Delicious but next time we are going to try it without the cauliflower. The smell and taste was very over powering. I love cauliflower, but couldn’t really taste anything else.
Also, I shredded the zucchini in the food processor, it was perfect- I think next time I would triple the zucchini.

@jschell - Not at this time, no. The crockpot makes this meal really do-able for people during the week, since there's so little time investment. Can you go out and get a crockpot by chance? They're not very expensive and can be stored in a closet if you don't have a lot of counter space for storage. Like this one at Target for $20 would be just fine. If you do it on the stove, it takes a lot of tweaking with the amount of liquid in the recipe, and it takes hours on the stovetop. If anyone else has any suggestions for converting this recipe into a stovetop recipe, we'd love to hear them.

Are there instructions for those of us without a crock pot?

This is a great recipe however I didn’t like how the zucchini got mushy. The smell of the cauliflower bothered me a bit too. We modified this a bit by adding fresh Kale to the pot for the last 20 minutes of cooking. All in all, I’d scrap the zucchini and cauliflower and replace with carrots and tons of kale.
