Crock Pot Pork Loin Roast

Janie Cooper's Note:

A great recipe for a rolled pork roast like the ones from Costco that tend to be a little dry & tough. The sauce can be thickened with a flour/water sauce for a flavorful gravy with pepper added. No salt is necessary as the condensed soup adds plenty! Sometimes I add 1/2 pkg dry onion soup mix sprinkling it right on the meat before cooking, Increase spices according to your taste.

Made this as written with a few adjustments. I omitted the rosemary, mushrooms, dry onion soup mix and the can of cream of mushroom soup. Used a 2 1/2 pound pork loin roast, added a chopped onion, 2 medium potatoes cubed and 3 carrots sliced. Cooked on low for 6 hours and enjoyed the smell during the day. Came out moist with wonderful flavor and tender vegetables. Using 1 can of golden mushroom soup and 1 cup of beef broth there was plenty of thick gravy. Thanks !

This was very good. We are not big fans of pork but the roast was gone in one meal, with my sons having seconds, (roast was only 3 lbs). Very rarely do I follow a recipe without making some changes. But this one was perfect as is. Big flavor, lots of gravy, great with mashed potatoes. This will be my go to recipe from now on. Thanks for posting.

My whole family loved this recipe. I did adjust the recipe slightly by using regular cream of mushroom soup for both cans, omitted the dry onion soup mix, added minced garlic, and used thyme instead of rosemary. The pork came out moist and flavorful. I did thicken the soup/broth after pulling out the pork and it made for a wonderful gravy for our mashed potatoes. This even pleased my picky eaters and any recipe that can do that deserves full stars!
