Slow Cooker Pork Roast – crock pot season is here, and it is time for pure comfort food! Super easy pork roast for any night of the week.
Today I am taking the day off from work and just doing nothing. Well, not nothing. I am spending the day with a friend. A little girl time, yummy food, laughs, and I am sure a drink or two. Maybe we will start at home with a Red Wine Spritzer before heading out for lunch. Sounds like the perfect Friday to me!
My son has off from school today and his Grandparents are in town. They took him on an impromptu trip, so suddenly my calendar is free! Hope you have a great Friday!
Crock pot season is officially here, right? We have had the strangest fall in Colorado, so it is kind of hard to tell. Most of September was in the 80’s and even 90’s. Then October came and it was still in the 80’s, but with a few days in the 60’s. But this week has been actually been cool.
So I am calling it. Comfort food, crock pot, slow cooker season is here! I am a starting off with a good one. A slow cooker pork roast. We love pork in this house, and a pork roast is a common weekend meal here. But I wanted to be able to have it any night of the week, so I broke out the slow cooker! My husband requested Slow Cooker Tikka Masala, but I over ruled him.
I put the pork roast in the crock pot in the morning and my house smelled amazing all day. One down side of working from home when you use the slow cooker, is you are hungry all day long!
My 10 year old is a huge fan of mashed potatoes and gravy lately, so that seemed like the perfect base for a pork roast. I used a packet of pork gravy, and in place of the water called for, I just used the juices in the crock pot. The pork roast was so tender and delicious. Definite comfort food for any night of the week! Up next in the slow cooker are Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches – another must make in the fall!
- 1 3-4 pound pork loin roast
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 2 cups low sodium chicken stock
- 1 packet pork gravy mix
-
Place pork loin, onion soup mix and chicken stock into a slow cooker. Place on low for 8-10 hours.
-
Once pork is cooked, and tender remove from slow cooker and use 2 forks to shred pork.
-
Whisk together 1 cup of juices from the slow cooker and packet of gravy mix. Add to a small sauce and a bring to a boil. Cook for 1-2 minutes until it starts to thicken.
-
Serve shredded pork with gravy.

Marg says
This is my new “go to” recipe for slow cooker pork roast! Our family loved this recipe! The meat was tender and the gravy had an excellent flavour. Thank you for sharing!
Erin S says
So glad your family liked it Marg!
Deb says
Erin – just seeing this recipe. Looks really good. Question- I dont really like shredded meat. Could I make this pork roast, and then just slice it? Wondering if that would be an option. Or would it be so well done that you could only shred it? Thanks
Erin S says
Deb, you can definitely try to just slice it. You could also play around with the cooking time and cook it just a little less, so it isn’t quite as tender, but is cooked all the way through. This would probably be your best option – try 1 hour less and see how it goes. Enjoy!
Alisha says
Could you cook it on high for about 4 hours? Instead of on low for 8?
Erin S says
I haven’t done it that way, but it should work. It might not be quite as tender because you are cooking it faster. But all slow cookers are different, so it might be super tender and perfect! Try it, and let me know!

I wish there was a video this looks so good
