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.

HI! I made this last for last night and it was amazing! I had never cooked a pork shoulder before – but it was on sale at the store, came across this recipe for it and decided to try it.
I have a pulled pork recipe I always do with a pork butt that is very good but my whole family (husband and three grown sons) said this recipe is by far much better than that one! Much more tender, flavorful and an easier recipe too! I couldn’t have been happier with how delicious it was!!
Thanx to your recipe I will always stick to the pork shoulder and this recipe!
Thank you!

I made this pork roast last night. Yummy! I didn’t have McCormick seasoning, so I looked up the contents and put together my own. I did rub the roast in olive oil so that the seasoning mix would stay put. I also tucked in some baby carrots and small potatoes a couple of hours before the end of the cooking time.

This was amazingly delicious and so very easy! I followed the recipe exactly as written. This is my pork roast recipe from now on. It’s just my husband and me, so I’ll end up freezing a lot of it, but oh my how we’ve enjoyed it the last 2 nights!
