Crock Pot Pork Roast
Description
This Crock Pot Pork Roast begins by placing a 3-pound pork sirloin roast in the slow cooker. A packet of dry onion soup mix is sprinkled over the top, and whole berry cranberry sauce is spread on top as well. The roast cooks on low heat for 8 to 10 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender enough to shred easily. After cooking, the roast is shredded and held warm. For gravy, drippings collected from the slow cooker are combined in a skillet with a butter and flour roux cooked to a golden brown. This mixture is whisked until thickened, then seasoned with salt and black pepper to taste. The shredded pork and rich gravy work well served over noodles or mashed potatoes. This recipe is practical for slow-cooking with minimal active time and results in a flavorful, tender roast with a smooth, well-seasoned gravy.
