This slow cooker orange pork is unbelievably tender, juicy, and packed with sweet-savory flavor. With just orange juice and three simple ingredients, the pork slowly cooks until it practically falls apart. It’s the kind of comforting, fuss-free dinner that has everyone going back for seconds.
Ingredients
2–3 lb pork shoulder or pork loin
1 cup orange juice (fresh or bottled)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, sliced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
Place the pork in the slow cooker. Season it evenly with salt and black pepper.
Scatter the sliced onion and minced garlic over the pork.
Pour the orange juice over everything, making sure the pork is well coated.
Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the pork is very tender and easy to shred.
Remove the pork, shred or slice it, then spoon some of the cooking juices over the top before serving.
Serve this juicy orange pork with rice, mashed potatoes, or tucked into sandwiches for a meal the whole family will love.
