This Slow Cooker Company Pork Roast is by far one of my favorite roast recipes to serve for Sunday Dinners. The meat comes out juicy, and the gravy has the best savory flavors and is made with only simple ingredients.
What You’ll Love About This Recipe:
Slow cooker meals are a great option to make during busy weeknights to have a delicious recipe to come home to at the end of the day, and this crock pot pork recipe is a favorite recipe to lean on. With the simple cut of pork and easy seasonings, you can have an extra tender roast with a delicious broth and a tangy glaze.
The beauty of this recipe is that you can add whatever root vegetables to the bottom of the pan for a complete meal, or just make the slow cooker pork recipe without anything added, and still have the best ever slow cooker pork roast.
Our Dr. Pepper pulled pork, pineapple pulled pork sandwiches, or grilled pork medallions are all great pork recipes to make, too!
Key Ingredients:
To make a tender roast, use a boneless pork loin roast for this pot roast, but you could also use a pork butt roast or a boneless pork shoulder for more cuts of pork to use in this easy weeknight dinner.
If you want to make a delicious gravy (which is the best choice in our opinion) with this crock pot recipe, pick a roast with good marbling of connective tissue and use a cornstarch slurry of cornstarch and cold water with the drippings after the roast cooks.
