Pork Loin & Beans

Unfortunately, I don't have measurements for this. (I learned to cook by the "way it looks!")
2 lb pork loin (other pork roast works too)
6 14 oz cans Great Northern Beans, drained
ketchup - probably 1/2 bottle
brown sugar - probably 1/4 - 1/3 cup
worcestershire sauce - probably 1 Tbl

Mix beans, ketchup, sugar, worcestershire in crock. Exact measure is not necessary. You just don't want it too soupy (like generic pork & beans come in the can - that's too soupy) or too dry. Put the pork on top & cook on low 8 hours. This is even better left over!

What is the difference between pork tenderloin and pork loin? Can you substitute one for the other?

 

[piratesmate]

Hi babylisa4 - Technically, the loin is a wholesale cut of pork. From this, many "retail" cuts are made. These cuts include things like:
loin roasts
tenderloin
loin chops

At least that is the way it is described in my old recipe books from my grandmother & great great aunt.

So, yes, they are interchangeable. In fact, the last number of times I've made this I've used tenderloin that I bought in a cryovac package & split up. Years ago, I used a less expensive cut.

 

[babylisa4]

Yes, I noticed my tenderloin was in two sections and wasn't sure why that was.

I used pork butt shoulder and it was great with that too.

My husband thought the shoulder would make good pulled pork.
