“Sweet meat! This was very good. I actually made this in the slow cooker over a whole day since I have small kids and no time to cook. I used a pepper and garlic pork loin from Aldi since that is what I had in the fridge already and I didn't sear it before ad” — a cook, 5★

“Fantastic! I followed the recipe as provided. Served over egg noodles. My wive was so excited! 2 things I would change *personally*. 1. Add more caraway and at least in my experience, the brown sugar was not necessary.” — a cook, 5★
