Easy Peasy Dinner - Pork Loin.

Hola Bitches!
It's Rach here, and in lieu of end of the school year, college chicks and moms alike want a super easy dinner.
And wine. They want wine.
So Imma show you how to cook a pork loin.
That's right pork.
                                     Aww...he looks DELICIOUS. 

Pork can be daunting, considering if you don't cook it correctly, you could become seriously ill.
But no worries craftonistas! We are gonna cook the ever loving crap outta this cute little guy. :)
First, you need a crockpot, and if you don't have one, spend the 20 bucks and GET YOU ONE. SERIOUSLY.
It doesn't need a digital face, just the turney nob will do ya. (those are cheaper).
And. you will need about four hours. (While this is cooking, you will have ample time to dye your hair an awesome color, a la Elyse's blog entry Pastel Hair, the CUI way)

First,  get yourself a pork loin. At any supermarket, and you can get them already flavored.
I like this brand, and they come in a ton of flavors, and plain if you wish.

Then, get your crock pot out.
                                      Thanks Grandma!

I should mention at this point the pork loin should be thawed.

Then throw it in the crock pot.
Then cover with garlic...mmmmmm. Garlic.

Ok, for some reason this picture looks fuuuuuucked up. But it's minced garlic, and a jar of "Carolina Treet" a brand of South Carolina barbecue sauce.You can use any brand of yellow sauce for this recipe, but this is the one I had on hand.  Its yellow, and mustard based, and originated here in South Carolina, when we say barbecue here, this is what we mean. And it's AMAZING.

But, you can use that brown goop excuse for barbecue if you like.

Dump some of garlic over the pork loin, and then pour a good bit of the sauce over it as well. (but save a bit for the end).


Then get you an onion, full of onion-y goodness. If you don't like onion, then don't use it. (WTF is wrong with you..?)

Throw it, (chopped up) in the pot.
Then, put the lid on it, and cover it up. For about four hours. Seriously, just leave it the F*ck alone.

Then, after four hours, for an average sized pork loin, it's DONE. And to think, all you did was dump shit in a pot. :)

When it's done, it should just fall apart. (Just like you do after watching The Notebook, and having too much Chardonnay).

Then, serve it up on a plate. Preferably with an equally awesome side dish, like a loaded baked potato.

Then, take the rest of the sauce you saved, and pour it on top of the pork loin. :) AND DIG IN!!!!
You're Welcome. Don't be so afraid of pork!
Goes great with wine. Any wine.
