My husband doesn't like BBQ sauce, but we had a pork roast. I whipped this up in the slow cooker, and it was awesome served with broccoli and rice, and also as pulled pork sandwiches for the 2 kids and hubby for a few days without them getting tired of it! It got better and better until it was gone, so I figured it was worth sharing. You let me know what you think!

2 1/2 lbs pork loin, butterflied
3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 2-inch pieces

CROCK POT SWEET POTATO APPLE PORK ROAST



Crock Pot Sweet Potato Apple Pork Roast image

This is an old recipe that I got from my mother, she never made it when I was younger because she doesn't like sweet potatoes. I have made this recipe now quite a few times and it always turns out moist and delicious. The mustard is optional, and I leave that out as my family doesn't like mustard, although I think it still tastes good with it. The sauce at the end is also optional, I have eaten it before without the sauce and it is still wonderful. The sauce adds a little extra touch though, but use it sparingly, or it will really overpower the great taste of the pork.

PORK ROAST OVER SWEET POTATOES FOR THE CROCK POT



Pork Roast over Sweet Potatoes for the Crock Pot image

My husband always requests this recipe. I cook it 11 hours so the meat barely holds together. Works for low glycemic index diets.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 8h30m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 lbs pork loin roast, boneless
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (1/2 inch cubes)
1 cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Combine first 6 ingredients.
  • Rub into pork.
  • Put potatoes in the crock pot.
  • Place pork on top of potatoes.
  • Pour broth over all.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.

Tips:

  • Use a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup. Line the slow cooker bowl with a plastic liner bag before adding the ingredients. When the cooking is done, simply remove the liner bag with the solids inside and discard it.
  • Sear the pork roast before cooking it in the slow cooker. Searing the meat helps to develop flavor and lock in the juices. To sear the pork roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork roast and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Add a layer of vegetables to the bottom of the slow cooker before adding the pork roast. This will help to prevent the meat from sticking to the bottom of the cooker and will also add flavor to the dish. Some good vegetables to use include onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes.
  • Use a variety of spices and herbs to season the pork roast. This will help to add flavor and depth to the dish. Some good spices and herbs to use include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, and oregano.
  • Cook the pork roast on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the roast and the type of slow cooker you are using.

Conclusion:

Crock-Pot Sweet Potato, Apple, and Pork Roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The pork roast is tender and flavorful, and the sweet potatoes and apples add a touch of sweetness and crunch. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover pork roast.
