For this Slow Cooker Parmesan Honey Pork Roast recipe, you’ll need a good slow cooker. Did you know every one of us sisters uses a different slow cooker?
We’re all in different stages of life with different schedules, and because of that we need different things from our slow cookers!
Here are a few suggestions to take into consideration before selecting yours.
How big is your family? If you have a large family, we’d recommend looking at an 8 quart slow cooker so you can make sure your recipes fit all in one.
We love this 8 quart slow cooker. You can find it in a 6 quart size too!
What are your slow cooker needs? Do you need a self timer while you’re gone at the office all day? Or do the simple high and low settings work for your lifestyle?
Check out these self timer slow cookers and these manual slow cookers to see which one will work best for you.
And Merry Christmas!!
Thank you for such a great recipe :-)
It's a delight.
The gravy (which is really more like a glaze) was perfect! We will make this again.
Don't forget the slaw, and if you get a minute try a few slices of smoked bacon!Also try stopping by smokinpit.com & crockpotking.com, I just found smokinpit the other day.
Has anyone out there tried to make this as pulled pork sandwiches yet? I'm considering that!
Thanks!

With the large amount of honey in the marinade, I'm not surprised it burned at all, and am wondering why everyone else's didn't burn...or maybe they just think bitter is a nice flavor? To ruin such a large amount of meat, this is definitely not worth making again.
We ommited the gravy part, as we are not big gravy people, but will make the gravy next time for comparison. We had it with red skin mashed potatoes and some sides. We will probably make sanwiches with it tomorrow. It was moist and very flavorful, i poked the pork roast in several spots with a sharp knife prior to putting the sauce over it before cooking.
I recommend this recipe to everyone.
As a side note: a lot of times when I see something yummy on Pinterest I'm directed here. Now follower!!

"In a small bowl, combine the cheese, honey, soy sauce, basil, garlic, oil and salt; pour over pork"
Use the big thick pork roast cut, not the little skinny tenderloins, and don't trim the fat. You can pour off the sauce into a separator afterward if you want, but I did not find it had an unmanageble amount of fat. I promise, you can throw one of those into the cooker with nothing but a coating of oil and 6 garlic cloves, and it will not dry out or burn. 2) Do not add the cornstarch to the slow cooker - it's for thickening the sauce after the meat is done. 3) Use the less expensive grated parmesan cheese - anything better is a waste of nice cheese, it won't blend into a coating for the meat, and I think the quantity will not work out properly.
I was curious to see whether the honey, soy, parmesan or garlic would dominte the sauce and was intruigued to find the answer was: none of the above. It creates a very unique and tasty jus, reminiscent of beef. I thickened it minimally, we had it with sauteed green beans, lightly smashed Yukon gold potatoes and a cranberry relish. It got rave reviews. Wanted to make the leftovers into "sliders" but there are no leftovers (4.5 lb roast served 6). I'd do this meal for Christmas - surprisingly impressive for a slow cooker meal, simple and delicious.
