Pork Loin with Bacon and Brown Sugar Glaze Crock Pot

Pork Loin with Bacon & Brown Sugar Glaze
1 boneless pork loin
4-6 slices of bacon
Rub ingredients: 1 tsp chili powder; ½ tsp paprika; 1 tsp salt; ½ tsp pepper;
½ tsp cumin; 1 tsp cinnamon; 1/4 tsp onion powder; 1/4 tsp garlic powder.

Glaze topping: 1 cup brown sugar, 2 TB flour, 2 TB cider vinegar & ½ tsp dry mustard

1. Mix all of the above ingredients (the rub) and rub all over pork loin (I usually use the huge boneless pork roasts on sale and cut them down to about 2 1/2 lb roasts).
2. Place pork loin in crock pot and add about 1/4-1/2 cup of chicken broth. Cut each strip of bacon in half and lay them over top of pork loin.
3. Cook on low about 8-10 hours (if starting frozen, wet the roast and then rub the roast with the mixture. Cook on high 1 hour and then switch to low, it should work out fine).
4. About 45 minutes before eating, combine brown sugar, flour, vinegar & dry mustard in sauce pan. Bring to a simmer for about 1 min. Spoon over pork (it is more on top of the bacon at this point) and cook for about 45 minutes until ready to serve. This is just a glaze to go on top of the meat.

Delicious! I serve with mashed potatoes and vegetables. I also use the liquid left over in the crock pot as a gravy. Just put the liquid in a saucepan, bring to boil and add a little corn starch mixed with water to thicken up.
