So, I have an addiction.

I am seriously addicted to my slow cooker. But how could I not be? You throw a couple items together with little effort in the morning and at the end of the day . . . TA DA. A tasty meal, that is all ready to go.

But sometimes the husband gets sick of slow-cooker meals. So I am venturing outside of my comfort zone and trying a couple of things that don’t involve a crock-pot (but take minimal effort on my part).

When I found this recipe, I loved that it was very little work- just rub the roast and throw it in the oven. IT TASTED AMAZING. I have never made a roast so juicy and moist.

Needless to say, the husband was impressed. We will definitely be making this again. It was also extremely easy to make, and my kids also gobbled it right up.

low and slow:

When cooking your pork roast, it is important to remember that they cook quicker than most other meats. Pork can also be a little more dry, although most roasts are a little more tender.

It’s important to carefully watch them as you cook them, to ensure they are not overcooking and drying. Here are some cooking tips for pork chops:

Cook them on low, for a longer amount of time. This will help the juices soak into the meat, and not cook out quickly. It will also help avoid the meat from cooking fast on the outside, but not on the inside, leaving you with burnt pork.
Let your pork chops marinade for a while, and even make a little extra sauce to put on the side, to baste them as they cook. In the slow cooker, they are pretty much marinading the entire time they cook, but it doesn’t hurt to spoon some juices on top every now and then.
Don’t cut into the pork as it is cooking. If you do, make a small incision in the very center to ensure that the meat is done cooking, or a thermometer to see that it has reached the temperature of 145 degrees.
You also don’t want to open the slow cooker lid if you don’t have to. It’s best to keep all that sweet meat moisture in the slow cooker, for a nice tender pork.
