Doesn't just the name of this recipe sound delicious? I found it over on Pinterest (have I mentioned that I love that place lately?), and made a quick run to Publix this morning to grab the pork roast & pop it in Mrs. Potts. Then I left her all alone to do the cooking today, and let me tell you . . . she did a fantastic job! 🙂
Do be careful not to over-cook your roast. . . I highly recommend getting a meat thermometer if you use your crockpot regularly, because (at least from my experience), newer crockpots tend to cook much more quickly than older models once did. This recipe recommends that you cook the roast for 6-7 hours on low, however mine was done at just a little over 5 hours on low. So, while I love leaving my slow cooker to do the work, you'll still need to watch to make sure it doesn't cook too long! We loved this recipe, and will definitely be making it again soon.

You did great Michelle – that’s fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing… so excited for you 🙂
Made this New Years Eve and it was so good! Thank you very much for the recipe, everyone loved it and I loved that it was so easy and inexpensive.
A friend of mine who tried and loved this sent me the link. And for once, I had everything needed to make it on hand! It’s in the crock pot now cooking away for my New Year’s Day dinner. 🙂
Yayyyy! Hope you enjoy it Anne – Happy New Year! 🙂
Wowsers! This is my dinner for tomorrow night lol Yay Publix for having Pork Loins on sale this week. Thanks so much for the recipe, can wait to try
Happy New Year to you and your family
Great and easy dinner idea!!! Will pop it in for New Years Eve Dinner i think! Thanks! 🙂
What other meat do you think would work good with this recipe? I LOVE Pork, but can’t have it due to Gall Bladder problems 🙁 Maybe chicken??
You know – I bet if you had a whole chicken, the same recipe would work…. you’d want a decent size amount (that’s why the whole bird), and I bet it would taste pretty yummy! Let me know if you try it 🙂
Chicken Thighs do well with this as well, if you use a crock pot I would do the bone in skinless and put ti on low and now leave it all day.
and NOT leave it all day….. I can type….
Thanks Michelle – that’s so good to know (I’ve got to try it!)
Ok… This is what will be for dinner tonight! I’ve noticed that my crock pot can’t be left on low all day like I did with my older one.
Let me know what you think Jen! We’re having the leftovers tonight as pulled pork sandwiches 🙂
