Pork Loin Panini

Tonight's dinner adventure was a pork loin Panini. This was a great let it cook all day in the crock pot and make the house smell amazing meal. This stands alone without making it into a Panini but I have found that I really like it as a Panini :)

So here goes the recipe!

Crock Pot Pork Loin Panini

3 pound pork loin
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Paprika
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 cups Organic Chicken Broth Low Sodium
Whole Wheat Bread
1 cup Jason Weibe Garlic Herb Cheese -Shredded
2 tbsp Butter

Cut the pork loin in half. In a large resealable plastic bag mix your flour, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika. Put half the pork loin in and coat it and then put the other half in and coat it.

In a large skillet heat the oil on a medium-high heat. Once it is good and hot put your pork loin in and brown it on all sides. Once it is nice and brown on all sides put it in the crock pot. Pour the broth over the pork loin and set it on low heat and let it go for 5 - 6 hours.

Take it out of the crock pot and slice it up. We don't have a panini press in our house so we use our George Foreman Grill. You can also make this like grilled cheese on a griddle or in a waffle maker. Butter one piece of bread on one side and place it on the grill. Put on some pork loin and some of the cheese. Butter the top of the other piece of bread and place it on top butter side up. Put the top of the grill down and press. Let it cook for about 2 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.

Be careful it is HOT but oh so good!!

So surely an amazing sandwich like this has to be HORRIBLE for you right? Not that bad! This only has 572 calories and 670mg of sodium. For a dinner that isn't too bad. Plus we had TONS of leftover meat for sandwiches throughout the week.

Someday I will remember to take pictures while I am cooking so you can see this great food!
