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.

Made this tonight and it was absolutely delicious. Used a 2.5lb boneless pork shoulder roast and cooked on low setting for 10 hrs. I was lazy with making my own seasoning so used Trader Joes 21 Salute blend which had similar ingredients as the seasoning blend mentioned in the comments. Super juicy and flavourful. Will make it again for sure. Thank you!

You had changed to the recipe posted before. The seasonings you used in place of the McCormick seasoning. Can you tell me what those were? I loved it that way!

I made this recipe a couple years ago when you had the full seasoning recipe listed instead of the McCormick mix. It was absolutely delicious! I want to make it again but noticed those seasonings aren’t listed anymore. Could you please share that again? I don’t have the McCormick mix on hand 🙁 Thanks in advance!
