About This Recipe

"I looked and didn't find any pork roast made this way. This is the way I have made a Pork Butt Roast our entire marriage of 48 years. It is easy and oh so tender, juicy and delicious. I always serve it with mashed potatoes and make gravy from the rich drippings. If you make a large roast the leftovers can be made into many other dishes...even BBQ pork sandwhiches if you simmer some of it in BBQ sauce until it is absorbed."

Ingredients

3 -4 lbs pork butt
2 tablespoons instant minced onion
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic

Directions

Season meat on all sides with salt and pepper.
Place roast in slow cooker.
Sprinkle dried onions on top of roast.
Lay bay leaves on top.
1 cup chicken broth.
Cook for 1 hour on high.
Lower heat to low and cook another 6-8 hours on low or until fork tender.

"I rarely gush over roast, especially pork roast, but I will here! The flavor from a few ingredients deserves more than 5 stars. The roast has a nice herb undertone with garlic and onions. I loved the bay leaves here! The gravy was excellent and using the crockpot was super easy too. I made gravy with the drippings, a cornstarch slurry, and a little Kitchen Bouquet. Thank you for sharing the recipe Carrol. It's now in my keeper file. :-)"

"This was really good and so tender. I think I will use a little less garlic next time (personal preference). Thanks for a great recipe."

"I added a can of cream of mushroom soup. The soup made a great sauce. My family really liked it so i'll make it again."
