3. Slow Cook

Place the wrapped pork in a slow cooker.
Cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the pork is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

4. Optional Broil for Crispy Bacon

Transfer the pork to a baking sheet.
Broil in the oven for 2–3 minutes to crisp up the bacon, watching carefully to prevent burning.

5. Serve and Enjoy

Slice the pork and drizzle with any juices from the slow cooker.
Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Tips for Success

Use a lean cut like tenderloin for faster cooking, or shoulder for richer flavor.
Don’t skip the brown sugar — it creates the sweet-savory glaze that makes this dish memorable.
Cover the slow cooker to keep the pork moist, but uncover for the last 30 minutes if you want the bacon extra crispy.
