Crock Pot 5 ingredient Pork Roast sliced

Crock Pot Pork Roast 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.

Crock Pot Pork Roast

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!

Slow Cooker Pork Roast

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.

5 Ingredient Crock Pot Roast

 

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.

    if you have them sealed in foodsaver bags, I would just cover them in water…. Fill the sink with water and immerse the ribs still sealed. They will thaw pretty quickly and I figure they will turn out better. I have tied this method and it has worked well for me. While I haven’t tried cooking ribs or butts from frozen, I recently read an article concerning how this practice may make for a tougher piece of meat….. so take that for what its worth, which may not be much….

    a very good recipe. very tasty too. the first time i made it, i noticed that the top half of the roast did not get as tender as the half that was in the broth. so, the second time i made it, i flipped it over halfway thru the cooking and it came out perfect. i rubbed the seasoning all over the roast, put it in a roasting bag and sealed it up tightly and let it sit in the fridge for eight hours. i took it out of the bag before cooking. i also sliced up a stick of butter over the onions in the bottom of the crock pot and put the roast on top of that.

    Easy to make. Allow enough time to cook. Very flavorful. I used a mesquite rub with salt and garlic pepper. I love it. Can use bbq sauce about 10 minutes before finishing.

    This Was Fantastic! So Easy, so simple and so delicious. I am very pleased because I did not have any onions nor chicken broth so I had to use a rack and 1 cup of white wine. I am holding my hands behind my back because I want to eat a bunch of it but it is bedtime! I didn’t time this correctly! Thank you for the recipe.
