Delicious Crock Pot Pork Roast Recipe for Family Dinners

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 3 lbs pork roast (shoulder or butt cut recommended)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for searing the roast)
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Pork

    Trim excess fat from the pork roast and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

    Let the roast sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
  2. Sear the Roast

    In a hot skillet, add olive oil and sear the pork roast on all sides until browned.

    This step enhances the flavor and locks in moisture.
  3. Add Ingredients to Crock Pot

    Place the seared pork roast into the crock pot and pour in the chicken broth.

    You can add vegetables like carrots and potatoes for a complete meal.
  4. Set Cooking Time

    Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

    The longer cooking time yields more tender meat.
  5. Check for Doneness

    Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

    Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
