I absolutely love making recipes in the slow cooker (see more slow cooker – crock pot recipes). Slow cooker/crock pot recipes have low hands on time and are very set-it-and-forget-it type meals.

The slow cooker is such a fantastic way to get a delicious meal on the table without much hands on time! Take for example this recipe – all you do is literally put the ingredients in a slow cooker (and there’s only 5 ingredients: pork roast, potatoes, garlic salt, Italian seasoning and chicken broth) and then set it and forget it.

    I’m anxious to try this recipe. If I use the low setting on the crock pot, do I put the potatoes in with the roast, or wait? I don’t want the red potatoes to be over cooked after 7-8 hours. Thanks!!

      I think you’ll love this recipe. I put the potatoes in with the roast – they do get super soft and tender, so if you want them not cooked like that, then you can put them in whenever you think you’ll like them (probably around hour 4). Hope that helps

    I am a single father and came across your recipe for pork roast–I am actually getting this ready to try for tomorrow—is there any other recipes you can give me to help me–I work very weird hours and have very little time at home with my son–he is 17 and sometimes gets picky with what he will eat–because of my hours and limited budget I need recipes that are reasonable cost and preferably in crockpot or slow cooker–my son doesnt care for cheese and I dont like tomato chunks or fish!!—any help to keep providing him with healthy meals and me being able to spend time with him is appreciated!!——–THANK YOU!!!

    SINCERELY,

    I already pre seasoned my roast with steakhouse mushroom seasoning, if I use this recipe, should I omit the Italian seasoning

    i have some fresh rosemary and a larger roast (about a 3# roast), with just some garden fresh russet potatoes(cut into fingerling size), and just harvested garlic cloves.
    If I make in the crock pot, how long do you think this would take to cook? how much rosemary would you recommend (don’t want it too strong)? and possibly using 2 cups chicken broth appropriate?

      July 24, 2018 at 8:13 am

      Hi there, I’d recommend low for a bigger roast for 8 hours, that should do the trick 🙂 That’s so amazing that you have fresh from the garden potatoes and garlic! I’d recommend about 4 sprigs rosemary and yes, 2 cups of broth! Hope you love this recipe, I’d love to hear how you liked it after making it. Thanks for commenting 🙂

    Hi! Thanks for the recipe idea! I’m going to try it like this, bc this is what I have ready to go fast!
    Pork roast, 2- 15 oz cans whole white potatoes, chicken broth & 1 packet onion soup mix. I did sear the edges of the roast in a pan with olive oil before putting the roast in the crock pot. I can’t wait to try it!

        I looked at Safeway in the spices and could not find an Italian Seasoning…What do you use for Italian.? I am going to try this tomorrow and bought some fresh Rosemary and will add garlic, Basil, Oregano and some Marjoram, Sure hope that will works. Yours looks so good. Thanks

          I’m so sorry to hear they didn’t have Italian seasoning, that’s so odd because normally there are like 5 different versions of it! The suggestions you said were great.
          Usually my Italian seasoning mix is something along the lines of:
          1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
          1 teaspoon dried thyme
          1/2 teaspoon dried basil
          1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

      Thank you so much for commenting Pat! I think you’ll love this. I make this dish all the time because it’s really so easy! It’s also a great dish to make when you don’t feel like being over a hot stove all day, so this would be awesome in the summer with a pork from the farmers market! I made this for my husbands grandmother and she loved it too. Thanks again for commenting, always love seeing your name!

    • Sweetphi says

      January 21, 2018 at 8:19 pm

      Hi! I use a pork loin roast. And for an instant pot..I think this would work: start by saute setting and just sauteing it using tongs to turn it, searing it for about 6 minutes, until browned. Then add the remaining ingredients and secure the lid and set the pressure release to sealing. press the cancel button to reset the cooking program, then select the meat/stew setting and set the cooking time for 45 minutes at high pressure. Perform a quick release by moving the pressure release to centing, or let the pressure release naturally (this will take about 20 minutes). At this point, you can either enjoy it, or leave the roast in the pot for up to 8 hours on the keep warm setting.
