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.

Thank you! I cooked this last night for my family. I’ve always disliked pork roast because it was so bla, but it is cheap and I have a big family and a small budget.
Found your recipe on Pinterest and tried it. What a difference! Loved it and so did my family. Thank you.

I have tried numerous recipes for a good slow cooked pork roast and I have to say, this is the best recipe I have found. Thanks Leigh Anne Wilkes! I cut the recipe in half and used a 3.5 quart slow cooker and it turned out beautifully….just enough for 2 people with left overs!!
Leigh Anne says
So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks for letting me know.
Eileen says
I was excited to see only 5 ingredients…disappointed to see there are 10. 🙁 I understand that the seasoning has been discontinued but I don’t think it should be titled Only Five Ingredients. As soon as I saw that long list of spices, I said, “Forget it!” Too busy to be measuring out all those ingredients!
Shay says
I know it’s been two years since you had the issue with the seasoning. I use the Weber roasted garlic and herb. It’s very good! I also use it on whole chickens when I roast one.
