This Slow Cooker Parmesan Honey Pork Roast is one of the most pinned recipes on my site. It’s amazing and will quickly become a family favorite!
I’ve got another yummy slow cooker
recipe for you today. I love using my slow cooker any day of the week but my favorite day to use my slow cooker is on Sunday. We go to church for three hours on Sunday so I love to put something in the slow cooker first thing in the morning. Then when we get home and are ready to eat about 3:00 p.m. dinner is ready! Sunday is suppose to be a day of rest and this slow cooker Parmesan honey pork roast helps it be more restful.
This recipe uses a pork loin roast. One of the things I love about pork is it relatively inexpensive, so it is easy on the budget. My husband loves pork roast and one of my girls is allergic to red meat, so we eat a lot of pork.
How to Make Crockpot Parmesan Honey Pork
This pork cooks on low in the slow cooker for about 6 hours. And when it comes out, it is so nice and tender and just about falls apart on you. Before I put it in the slow cooker though I covered it with a mixture of parmesan cheese, honey, soy sauce, basil, oregano, garlic, olive oil and salt.
After it is cooked, pull the meat out of the slow cooker and than strain your juices to make a yummy glaze for your roast. I thickened the remaining liquid with some chicken broth with cornstarch mixed in. Just heat up the mixture on the stove top until it thickens and forms a nice glaze. I wanted mine a bit sweeter so I added 1 tsp of sugar to it.
It has great flavor and texture. I served it with some rosemary roasted potatoes and a green salad and it was the perfect, easy meal for my day of rest!

I’ve been obsessed with this recipe ever since I first found it. Phenomenal flavor and so so easy. I’m from the south so comfort food is always the go-to, and this absolutely nails it.

I decided to make this today since it’s different from what my family normally eats and it turned out really flavorful; even the picky eaters in my house liked it. I didn’t thicken the juices into a glaze because I served the pork with rice and I wanted to use the juices as a sauce but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I’m definitely going to be making this again.
