We all 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!
Do you have to cook meat before putting it in the slow cooker?
- No! that’s the best part. All you do is literally put all of the ingredients in a slow cooker and then set it and forget it.
AND, with this recipe there are only 5 ingredients, making it even easier:
- pork roast
- potatoes
- garlic salt
- Italian seasoning
- chicken broth
Yay for 5 ingredient Fridays! Who doesn’t love an easy meal that doesn’t require too many ingredients.

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.

I’m so happy to hear you loved the recipe, thank you for sharing your feedback!
Chelle says
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.
Sweetphi says

The best pork roast recipe! I love crockpot recipes and the ease of this dish.
Sweetphi says
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for the wonderful comment, so glad you love this pork roast recipe.
Susan Dubose says
One of my favorites. I use large pork steaks we have from a home grown butchered pig. Everything else is just as the recipe says.
Sweetphi says
Oh I love that substitution. I never knew pork steaks were a thing until 2 years ago when we got some from a butcher at the farmers market, and it was amazing!!
Laura says
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!
Sweetphi says
I’m so happy to hear this Laura, thank you for the feedback!!

This was great. We had 6 for dinner and everyone just loved it, wanted to know how I managed to get so much flavor out of the pork, tastes soooo good. And tender, yum. Will definitely make again.

Yay, this make me so happy to hear. So glad you and everyone loved this dish!!

How can the 5 ingredient roast pork and potatoes be 868 calories per serving. I’m hoping this is a typo!!?????
Sweetphi says
Oh my goodness, thank you for pointing that out. Definitely a glitch! The nutrition calculator gets a little creative sometimes lol. I’ll work on updating that!
Amy J. says
Have you ever added carrots in with it?
Sweetphi says
I haven’t, but I think that would be great!!
Thea says
I have and it is just as fantastic!!! I throw the carrots in at the same time as everything else. Perfect.
Sweetphi says
I’m so happy to hear that!!!
Melissa Justice says
Can I use beef broth instead of chicken.
Sweetphi says
Of course! It will be equally as delicious
Judy says
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.
Sweetphi says
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 🙂
MAURA ALIA BADJI says
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.
Sweetphi says
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.
