    Loved this recipe! The time took me longer than it said which means I need to figure that out and the hubs said to sear it longer however, all in all we loved it. Flavor was in point very herby and tender.

    Just made this today. I think it’s the best slow cooked pork roast I’ve ever had!!! I had red potatoes and put them in the slow cooker at hour 4 and they were perfectly done at the 8 hour mark. Love that it’s simple and not very many ingredients. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

    So easy and so good! I put this all together in like 10 minutes. I did use as many potatoes and onions that I could fit in with my two small pork loins. Came out perfect after just 4 hours on low. Gravy was delicious!

    I made this recipe for the first time following the directions exactly and while it was good it was a bit bland. Any suggestions? How can I kick up the flavor now that it’s made and if I make it again? Thank you.

      Hi Judy, thanks for the comment. You could add a bit more seasoning, the other suggestion I’d have would be to saute a little onion and garlic and add that into the slow cooker, that always amps up the flavor 🙂

    I don’t know where it all went wrong. Lol! I followed the recipe but used golden potatoes instead of red. Cooked it on high for 4 hours. But somehow my finished meal did not look as good as the featured photos. The meat looked boiled. Everything TASTED GREAT—but the look and texture of the meat said: BOILED.

      Glad to hear that your end results weren’t as expected. This is a slow cooker recipe, so the meat won’t look baked, what I like to do is add the seasoning on top. You could have maybe added a little too much liquid if it was boiled-like? It should be cooked through but with the amount of liquid listed in the recipe the roast shouldn’t be submerged in liquid. Hope that helps.
