Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) Progresso™ cannellini beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 cup thinly sliced yellow onions
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin slices
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 lb boneless pork loin roast, trimmed
  • 1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ organic fire-roasted diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
  • 1/4 cup shredded fresh basil leaves

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Mix beans, onions, bell pepper, Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1 teaspoon of the salt in slow cooker.
  • 2
    Rub pork loin with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then rub in remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork in hot skillet 3 to 5 minutes on both large flat sides or until browned. Transfer to slow cooker. Pour tomatoes over pork. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 3 to 4 hours or until pork is cooked through (145°F in center).
  • 3
    Transfer pork to cutting board; let stand until cool enough to handle. Stir bean mixture in slow cooker; using slotted spoon, transfer to serving platter. Cut pork into 8 slices; place on top of bean mixture on platter, then top with mozzarella cheese. Cover platter with foil 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Remove foil; top with basil.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Pork loin roasts often come with a thin layer of fat on one side. Trim it off before cooking, or ask your butcher to remove it for you.
  • tip 2
    The bean mixture in the slow cooker will be brothy. The broth is very flavorful, but if you prefer less liquid, use a colander to drain the bean mixture instead of a slotted spoon.
