Slow Cooker Pork Roast

I have lovely childhood memories of coming home from school and smelling a pork roast cooking in the oven. My Mom made an awesome roast and pork was always my favourite. She loved to cook and try out new recipes, too. I know that's where I get it from. My father did a lot of cooking, too. It made us all interested in working in the kitchen. My three brothers are awesome cooks. 

This is just a basic recipe. I like to use this for any roast or even a whole chicken (for which I use chicken broth and I replace the dried onions with poultry seasoning). I've even used it to slow cook turkey breasts. They come out so moist and delicious. 

Slow Cooker Pork Roast




1 5-lb pork shoulder blade roast
1 10-oz beef broth (I use low-sodium)
2 tablespoons dried, diced onions (not French onions)
Fresh ground salt and pepper to taste

Pour about 1/4 of the can of broth into your slow cooker. Put in the pork roast. Pour the remainder of the broth over the roast. Generously season with freshly ground salt and pepper. Disperse dried onions over roast and into the broth around the sides. 



Cook on Low for 7-8 hrs. 




And... Voila! 




Enjoy!
