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.

I just put this in my crockpot for lunch tomorrow. I didn’t have red pepper flakes so I added fresh cracked pepper. The blend of the spices smelled so good. I can’t wait to eat it.

Sheila, Hope you enjoyed it!
Jane says
This looks delicious! Can I cook it for 4 hours on high? I think it will still be really tender.
Leigh Anne says
Jane, That should work fine.

Would this be good with gravy over mashed potatoes? Can I make gravy out of the sauce left over?
Leigh Anne says
It would be great with mashed potatoes. There is liquid remaining to make gravy out of.
Jane says
This was really really great! I prepared it for a crowd. It was so good. I loved the taste. Super easy to make. Had it on a tortilla with some veggies.
