The pork stays juicy and flavorful while the slow cooker does most of the work. A quick homemade sauce made with broth, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, and herbs gives every bite a delicious balance of savory, slightly sweet, and tangy flavors.
Serve it alongside mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad, and you’ve got a comforting dinner that feels much more complicated than it really is.
