When I pinned this Slow Cooker Parmesan Honey Pork Roast from Six Sister’s Stuff, I knew it would be perfect for what I needed.

Slow Cooker Parmesan Honey Pork Roast

Course Main Dish

Author Six Sister's Stuff

Ingredients

• 1 2-3 pound boneless pork roast
• 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup honey
• 3 Tbsp soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp dried basil
• 2 Tbsp minced garlic
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1/4 cup cold water

Instructions

• Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place roast in slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the cheese, honey, soy sauce, basil, garlic, oil and salt; pour over pork. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160°.
• Remove meat to a serving platter; keep warm. Skim fat from cooking juices; transfer to a small saucepan. Bring liquid to a boil. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Slice roast; serve with gravy

True to the recipe, the roast just about fell apart as I removed it from the crock pot.  It was super moist and went perfectly with the Lipton Onion Potatoes that we posted yesterday!

My oven and refrigerator have been replaced back into my kitchen, and our wedding and Christmas are now over, and I will definitely be making this recipe again when the next busy weekend hits.  But hopefully not quite as busy as last weekend!

This Pin definitely Rocks!

Coming in January…Our New Year’s Resolution is to be “Cleaner and Greener”!  Watch for some great DIY and organizational posts!

So when I went looking for a crockpot recipe, my eye caught this one that I pinned.  Mississippi Roast from A perfectly lovely ordinary day.  But what challenged me was the comment “I won’t make a roast any other way now!”  How can I not rise to the bait of THAT?

Gathering up my ingredients, I was off to “slave in the kitchen”. {wink, wink}  A chuck roast, a stick of butter, a package of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing and a  package of McCormick’s Au Jus. The recipe did call for some pepperoncini’s but most people in my family don’t care for those, so I omitted that from the recipe. If you would like to add them, you purchase them in a jar and lay them on top of your roast after the butter in this recipe.

Now, my crockpot is a little seasoned (old).  But I refuse to get a new one because it cooks better than other crockpot I have ever owned.  So you might be a little confused when you see my crockpot because looks unlike most others.  I love it because I can take the cooking part right off the base and serve as is.  It is a cinch to clean.  So if you happen to see a crockpot like this, I would recommend picking one up for me.  I mean….you.

On to the recipe.  Lay chuck roast in crock pot and sprinkle the whole package of Ranch Dressing on top:

Next sprinkle the whole package of McCormick’s Au Jus on top of that.  I know. Don’t break a sweat.

Here comes the hardest part of all.  Lay a stick of butter on top.

I had to sit down after that last instruction.   So much exertion. Now here is where if you’d like some pepperoncini’s, you would lay them on top around the stick of butter. Put your lid on and cook on low for 7-8 hours.

Now go take a nap and wait for the aroma to start wafting around the kitchen. Because when you wake up, you will be presented a wonderful roast that will look like this:

Now just add some mashed potatoes and gravy and Sunday dinner will be demolished.

This roast was a tad bit salty but it didn’t stop one person one tiny bit.  Maybe next time, I won’t use salted butter.  Because there definitely WILL be a next time.

This Pin Rocks!
