From Taste of Home: Simple & Delicious February 2009

This home-style supper can be made [a day ahead]. Strain and skim the cooking juices, cover and store all in the fridge. Then reheat the pork to 165 degrees and finish the gravy in a pan [the next day].

Ingredients:

1 boneless whole pork loin roast (3 to 4 lbs.) 
1 can (14 1/2 oz.) chicken broth 
1 cup julienned sweet red pepper 
1/2 cup chopped onion 
1/4 cup cider vinegar 
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 
1 Tbsp. brown sugar 
2 tsp. Italian seasoning 
1 tsp. salt 
1 tsp. pepper 
2 tsp. cornstarch 
2 tsp. cold water

Directions:

1. Cut roast in half; transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the broth, red pepper, onion, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and seasonings; pour over pork. Cover and cook on low for [4-6] hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees and meat is tender.

2. Remove pork [and reserve some for another use if desired].

3. For gravy, strain cooking juices and skim fat; pour 1 cup into a small saucepan. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

4. Slice pork; serve with [mashed] potatoes and gravy. Yield: 4 servings.
