Equipment Needed for Crock Pot Pork Roast Recipe
Ingredients
Before we get started, let’s take a look at the key ingredients to make a Crock Pot Pork Roast:
- 2 1/2-3 pound Pork Loin not tenderloin
- 1/2 tsp rosemary
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 cups chopped carrots
- 1/2 cup Onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/4 cup Orange Juice
- 2 tbsps Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Broth
- 2 tbsp butter
The first step is to season the pork loin liberally with rosemary, oregano, thyme, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. An optional step would be to sear the pork loin on all sides to lock in the flavor. Place the seasoned pork loin in the base of a slow cooker or Crock Pot as well as the chopped carrots, onion and garlic cloves.
Next whisk together the orange juice, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and vegetable broth. Pour this over the meat.
Last, slice the butter and place them on top of the pork loin.
How Long to Cook Pork Roast in a Crock Pot
One of the beauties of using a Crock Pot is the hands-free cooking experience it offers. For this recipe featuring a 2 1/2-3 pound pork loin, set your Crock Pot to the low setting for a slow and tender result. Allow approximately 6-8 hours for the pork roast to reach perfection. The low and slow approach ensures that the flavors meld together seamlessly, creating a succulent roast that’s practically effortless to prepare.
What to Eat with Pork Roast
Consider serving the pork roast over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes to soak up all those savory juices. For a lighter option, pair the pork roast with a crisp garden salad tossed in a zesty vinaigrette. Additionally, consider adding a side of crusty bread or dinner rolls to complete the meal, perfect for sopping up any remaining juices.
