Directions
1. Season pork loin on all sides with paprika, salt and pepper, to taste (you can score the fat for a nicer look). Heat the oil with a sage leave in a large Dutch oven or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork loin to the pan and saute the pork for about 5 minutes on each side, then place in a crockpot or slow cooker.
2. Stir in wine, chicken stock, shallots, crushed chili pepper flakes, garlic and thyme; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-8 hours, or until the pork is completely cooked. Remove pork from the slow cooker, cover and keep warm.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream and cornstarch. Stir into the slow cooker with the cooking juices and replace cover. Cook on high heat for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
4. In the meantime, cut the pork loin in slices. Then place the sliced pork loin in the slow cooker to reheat for a couple of minutes. Garnish with sage leaves and serve this delicious slow cooker creamy garlic pork loin over rice, pasta or any vegetable immediately with the cream sauce.
Note: Be sure to taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving. It may need more depending on the saltiness of your broth.

Very good!
Looks so delicious! If I wanted to cook it in a Dutch oven what temp would I do for low and slow?
I loved this recipe! I made it with pork tenderloin, and cooked for less time than for a loin. I subbed some dried sage for fresh, sprinkled in, and sautéed onion in place of shallot. So yummy!
Made the recipe as written in the crock pot and it was delicious. Will definitely make again. Thanks.
This recipe is great, except I recommend cooking the pork in a pan rather than the crockpot. The pork came out overcooked and dry even though I cooked it on low for 4.5 hours. The recipe itself is very tasty and has great flavor! I have always had a better turnout with pork when I cut it and cook the pieces separately in a pan.
