Why You’ll Love This Recipe!
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.
Ingredients Needed
- Boneless pork loin roast
- Parmesan cheese
- Honey
- Soy sauce
- Dried basil
- Dried oregano
- Garlic
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Cornstarch
- Chicken broth

Is a pork Loin Roast the same as Pork Tenderloin.
The short answer is no, they are two different cuts of meat. Pork Loin is wider and thicker with a fat layer on top, while Pork Tenderloin is long and thin. If you can’t find a Pork loin roast I suggest using a boneless pork shoulder, pork butt or picnic roast.

Angie says
My pork roast is only 2 pounds. Will it still work? Should I adjust any measurements?
Leigh Anne says
I would just adjust the cooking time down.

I made this yesterday, shredded the meat and served it today to rave reviews! “Don’t lose this recipe!” said my husband. Thanks for a great pork recipe! Easy and so tasty!

Lisa, love it!!!
Judy says
My crock/slow cooker is not “high-low-off”, it has a temperature dial ((because it’s combo’d with a deep fryer)). What temp would you slow cook this at?
Thanks! JX2
Leigh Anne says
With most crockpots the high temperature is equal to 250 degrees and the low is about 190-200

Made it, smelled the whole house with goodness. Was wonderful but dry (I’ll cook it for less time the next time) but when you added the AWESOME gravy you couldn’t tell. Thanks.
