Making a Crock Pot pork roast is not only simple, but it also guarantees tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked meat every time. If you’re between 45 and 65 years old, you’ll appreciate the convenience and deliciousness of this slow cooker recipe. Just imagine coming home to a mouthwatering pork roast after a long day of work or school!

Why Choose a Crock Pot Pork Roast?

One of the advantages of using a slow cooker is that you can set it and forget it. It allows you to do other things while your meal cooks to perfection. Say goodbye to the hassle of constantly checking the stove or oven. With a slow cooker, mealtime becomes simple and hassle-free.

This Crock Pot pork roast recipe requires 8-9 hours of cooking on low, making it perfect for setting up in the morning and leaving it to work its magic while you go about your day.

Choosing the Right Cut of Pork

When it comes to pork roasts, the cut of meat matters. Avoid using a pork tenderloin for this recipe, as it’s not meant to be cooked for such a long time. The terms “tenderloin” and “roast” are sometimes used interchangeably in the pork world, so be sure to check the packaging to ensure you’re getting the right cut.

A pork roast benefits from slow and low heat, allowing the connective tissues to break down and resulting in tender and moist meat. On the other hand, pork tenderloin requires less cooking time and is better suited for braising and roasting quickly.

Gather Your Ingredients

For this Crock Pot pork roast, you’ll need a few fresh ingredients, but most of them are pantry staples. The star of the show, of course, is the pork roast. The good news is that pork roasts freeze well. So, it’s always a good idea to have one on hand for easy and delicious meals.

From your pantry, gather olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, beef broth, balsamic vinegar, honey, and soy sauce. These simple ingredients come together beautifully to enhance the flavors of the pork roast.
