Rub the exterior of the pork loin with the vegetable oil. Then sprinkle with salt, pepper, onion powder, and brown sugar.Now, wrap the bacon slices around the pork loin and place it into your Crockpot. If it is easier for you to drape the bacon around your pork loin, that will work too. You can do this step in the Crockpot or on a cutting board and then transfer to the Crockpot, whichever works easier for you. If you are using the onion, place the slices around the outside of the meat. They will create more flavor while the meat is cooking.
Set your Crockpot temperature to the low setting and cook for about 4 or 5 hours. Pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°. Use a meat thermometer to test your pork loin.
While the bacon will be done, it won’t be crispy having been cooked in a slow cooker. To crisp the bacon, remove the pork loin onto a foil-lined baking pan. Place in the oven on the middle rack under the broiler on high for about 3 to 5 minutes. Keep a check as oven temps vary. Remove from the oven and let the meat rest for about 7 to 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
It is not necessary to add liquid to the pot. The juices from the pork loin and the bacon will be plenty.
