How to Make Honey Garlic Pork and Rice for Two in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
The recipe that I adapted to make this Honey Garlic Crock Pot Pork and Rice for Two is one of my all time favorite recipes. There is tender, juicy pork with a thick sweet sauce and a bed of rice. What more could you ask for?! I would be willing to bet that this will be an instant favorite in your home.
As a little sidenote: I realize the ingredient list looks long. Please, do not let that scare you. This recipe is actually pretty simple to make. Just follow the steps in the recipe card, and you can do it.
(If this recipe sounds like something you would love to make, but you need to feed more than two people, you can find the original recipe that serves six to eight people here.)

Honey Garlic Crock Pot Pork and Rice for Two
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb boneless pork cut into bite size pieces (I used center cut pork chops, but you could also cut up a pork loin or pork tenderloin.)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons corn starch
- 2 teaspoons cold water
- Cooked white rice
Instructions
- Place 1/2 lb boneless pork (cut into bite size pieces) in the bottom of your 2.5 quart, 3 quart or 4 quart crock pot.
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 2 1/4 teaspoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce and 1 cloves garlic until well blended.
- Pour the sauce over the cubed pork.
- Cover and cook on low for 2-4 hours or on high for 1-2 hours, until the center of the pieces of pork are at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit. (If making long cooking rice, start cooking your rice towards the end of your slow cooker cooking time.)
- Turn your slow cooker off, put a colander over a saucepan and pour the contents of the insert through the colander and return the cubed pork back to your slow cooker insert and cover.
- In a small bowl or coffee cup, mix together 2 teaspoons corn starch and 2 teaspoons cold water until completely blended and stir into the sauce in the saucepan.
- Heat over medium high heat until it is at a rolling boil (about 3 minutes), reduce heat and cook at a simmer, stirring continually, until it is just a little thinner than you want it. (It will thicken as it cools.)
- Pour the thickened sauce over the top of the pork and serve over a bed of Cooked white rice.
