Slow Cooker Pork Roast!

Easter Sunday was good to us! I slaved away all night cooking this pork roast!

Just kidding! My beautiful crock pot did all of the work.

I put a frozen* pork roast into the crock pot with some broth and a marinade.

*It isn't recommended that frozen things into a crock pot, but mine turned out just fine! I cooked it for about 10+ hours, so it was thoroughly cooked.

Directions:

1. Pour about 1 Tablespoon of olive oil into the bottom of the crock pot.
2. Place a thawed pork roast (or any kind of pork: shoulder, loin, etc.) into the crock pot on low.
3. Mix together mustard (yellow or the spice [both will work!]), soy, and ginger spice. (I just winged it, but it was about 1/4 c mustard, 4 Tbsp soy, and 1/2 teaspoon of ginger). Just do it to taste!
4. Pour over roast.



5. Torture yourself all night and morning with the fantastic aroma of pure heaven. I woke up starving!
6. Squeeze a little more mustard, soy, and ginger on the top. This is optional.
7. Let simmer for at least 8 hours. 
8. Turn over roast about 3/4 of the way through cooking. I did this so the top half would soak in some of the gravy. Yum!




The crock pot literally caramelized the pork. Gorgeous! 

Look how tender this bad boy was!



We enjoyed this with green beans and salad!








Let me know if you try it! You won't regret it!
