Crock Pot Pork Loin Roast

There is nothing like a crock pot dinner on a cold day.  The house smells good, and there is little work involved.  A win win in my book.  If you have a small family like I do, it also means multiple meals in one day of cooking.

A roast, of whatever variety, is an easy and delicious meal.  I happen to be making a pork loin roast because it was the type on sale this week.  Paired with some veggies in the crock pot and you have a meal in one.  Don't forget the seasonings either.  Those make or break a dish.

Wash and roughly chop desired vegetables.  Today we are doing carrots, onions and potatoes.  Season with salt and pepper.  Place roast on top.  I am using a 2 pound roast.  Pour several cups of beef or chicken stock over the roast and vegetables.  Season the roast.  I am using a generous amount of salt, onion powder, garlic powder and herbs de provence.

Pop the lid on and turn it on high for about 6 to 8 hours. 

I like to make gravy out of the broth and juices in the pot.  I take 1 to 2 cups of juices out of the crock pot after removing the roast.  I place these in a sauce pan on the stove.  I use 1 packet of brown gravy mix per cup of broth.  Follow the directions on the packet for the gravy.  Serve with the roast and vegetables.
