This Slow Cooked Pork Recipe Is Full Of Flavor
And so easy because it’s done in a 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!
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 use 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.

Last night I found this recipe and I was already 4hrs into the pork butt in the crockpot. I ran and added onions to the bottom and turned the fat side to be on top. I seasoned it again. In the beginning of cooking I added my homemade beef bone broth just because I add it to everything as it makes everything so good. I woke this morning to the exact picture you have posted! It tasted delicious! The best pork butt I have ever eaten! This will forever be my go to recipe for just a regular meal to a holiday meal! The meal possibilities you could make with this are endless! So happy I found this! Seriously though I should have taken a pic of my roast bc this morning it looked like it had been previously seared to perfection before adding to the crockpot! I cooked mine low 10 hrs. Then sat on warm for 6 hrs. It was so juicy and delicious!!
