I love my crockpot! There I said it...
This is based on an excellent roast recipe, link above to food.com's recipe.
"Stewed" Almost To Die For Roast Pork
Note: I did this recipe half and half. I did a lower carb side for me and added mushrooms. Honey doesn't like sweet potatoes or mushrooms.
Ingredients:
3 lb pork roast
1 packet Hidden Valley the Original Ranch Salad Dressing and Seasoning Mix
1 packet Good Seasons Italian All Natural Salad Dressing and Recipe Mix
1 16 oz. bag of baby carrots
1 16 oz. package of baby bella mushrooms
1 small sweet onion, coarsely chopped
1 large sweet potato cut into chunks
5 small/med red potatoes cut into chunks
3/4 cup white wine (I used chardonnay) - this is the "stewed" part. hee hee
1/4 cup water
Here's the easy part... put it all in your slow cooker and set to low for 7-8 hours.
After the roast was done, I sliced it up and emptied the veggies out of the pot with a slotted spoon. I took the juice in the slow cooker and poured it into a small sauce pan and made my own gravy from the flavored juice. It was sweet and tangy. Yummy, really.
additional note: The original "To Die For" recipe adds a gravy mix to the slow cooker in addition to the other flavor packets... but I prefer to make my own gravy.
one more note: I make a larger roast as I will freeze the other half and then re-purpose it into bbq... It's to die for... =)
Enjoy!
