This crock pot pork roast is full of flavor and so easy to make. It’s done in the crockpot and only has 5 ingredients. Dinner has never been easier or more delicious.
Crockpot Pork Roast was the perfect post holiday meal. After the holidays I always struggle a bit with getting back into the swing of cooking. My excuse is usually that I cooked so much over the holidays that I’m just cooked out. I can’t use that excuse this year because I didn’t really cook for Thanksgiving. We were in Utah and I bought the pies!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
We love a good pork roast or pork tenderloin at our house and today’s recipe for Crockpot Pork Roast hit the spot this week. It smelled wonderful as it cooked and tasted great. The best part was how easy it was. A great way to ease myself into cooking again! One of the great things about this pork roast is all the options you have available to you. You can eat it just as a roast, add some potatoes and veggies and you are good to go. We decided to make Pork Nachos out of it and they were delicious. The pork would also be great shredded and put in a taco, burrito, enchilada, quesadilla, you get the idea.
How to Make a Pork Roast in a Slow Cooker
- I used a pork shoulder roast with the bone in but you can also use a boneless roast.
- Slice your onions and lay them on the bottom of your slow cooker
- Mix your seasoning and salt together and pat into the top and sides of the roast. Place the roast into the slow cooker on top of the onions.
- Pour the chicken broth around the roast. Do not pour it over the top or you will wash off the seasoning.
- I prefer to cook it on low but if you are short on time high will work fine.
- This recipe makes a lot and it freezes great. Just shred it up and put it into an airtight freezer bag.

The true component here is the idea of slow cooking your pork shoulder or Butt in a crock pot. Low and constant heat brings out the flavor of the fat, now coupled with the spices and onion, it’s just a win win recipe! Nice work.

I made something like this with whole allspice and garlic salt and pepper, and onion. Flour gravy afterwards. Very good, and thanks jiggs for the recipe!!!

We LOVE this recipe! It is definitely a favorite in our house!! Super easy and great for those long days that you don’t want to cook something when you get home!
Valerie Stanford says
Made it, had a good flavor but wasn’t as “fall apart tender” as I expected after 7 hours in the crockpot. Will try again and experiment
Leigh Anne Wilkes says
Try cooking it an additional hour.

Hello there, I have made several pork roasts and I had to get it right for an elderly man who was never disappointed with this, HIS RECIPE. IT GOES LIKE THIS…LARGE PORTIONED ONIONS, WHOLE ALLSPICE, GARLIC SALT & PEPPER, AND SOME WATER, in the crock pot for about 3 hours I then made gravy with flour and cold water for the gravy. Thanks for the recipe Jiggs!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
