An impressive pork loin that cooks in your slow cooker to absorb all the flavor from the slow cooker sauce made using our tomato puree and diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano. The tender pork is then topped with a Parmesan cheese crust to take it next level on flavor; all while using pantry staple ingredients.
