This is such an easy way to make a great roast. Boneless pork loin is simply seasoned with salt and pepper and then injected with slivers of garlic. The crock pot keeps the meat moist and tender. Serve it with your favorite side dishes.

My family loved this. I made it just as directed (almost) and it turned out perfect. We eat our fair share of pulled pork soft tacos at the local mexican restaurant and this may have replaced those for us! Great to serve as a taco with cheese and pico. Yummm. I only had dried clove so I used that instead, between 1/4 and 1/2 tsp depending on your taste buds will work fine.
