SECOND TIME AROUND -- HOT PORK SANDWICH WITH GRAVY
I took out some leftovers from the freezer. The leftovers were from a crock-pot recipe I made a little over a week ago. I froze the remaining roast in the stock it created. This is a comfort food recipe to the max. Serve with mashed potatoes or french fries for the full effect! Enjoy! Note: This could also be done with beef or chicken.

ROASTED LOIN OF PORK WITH PAN GRAVY
Juicy, tender pork covered in a pan gravy that is packed with flavor. Great to serve to guests! My mother-in-law who can't cook demanded I teach her how to make this! Substitute chicken stock for pork stock in the gravy, if you wish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and stir in the black pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, dry mustard powder, and garlic. Cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- With a sharp knife, make several small slits in the pork roast. Place the roast into a roasting pan, and spread the spice mixture all over the roast and in the incisions. Surround the roast with celery, carrots, and onion, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven until the pork roast is browned and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 2 hours. About 15 minutes before the end of cooking, turn the oven temperature up to 425 to help brown the roast.
- Remove pork roast from oven, and allow to stand for about 10 minutes before slicing. Check temperature again; roast temperature should be at least 160 degrees F (75 degrees C) before serving.
- While roast is resting, place the roasting pan containing vegetables and pan drippings over a stove burner set to medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and simmer the drippings and flour for about 3 minutes to remove raw taste from flour. Whisk in the pork stock, a little at a time, until the gravy is thickened. Strain the gravy, and serve with the roast.

Steps:
- For Mashed Potatoes:.
- Cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water for 15 to 20 minutes, until very tender.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter and half-and-half in a small saucepan.
- Drain the potatoes.
- While still hot, place the potatoes in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the hot half-and-half mixture, the sour cream, 2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper.
- Mix until the potatoes are mashed but not completely smooth.
- Serve hot with gravy on the side.
- For Gravy:.
- In a large (10- to 12-inch) sauté pan, cook the butter and onions on medium-low heat for 12 to 15 minutes, until the onions are lightly browned.
- Don't rush this step; it makes all the difference when the onions are well cooked.
- Sprinkle the flour into the pan, whisk in, then add the salt and pepper.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the hot chicken stock and Cognac, and cook uncovered for 4 to 5 minutes, until thickened.
- Add the cream, if desired, and serve.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a combination of lean and fatty pork roast. A good rule of thumb is to choose a roast that is about 3/4 lean and 1/4 fat.
- Season the pork roast generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to develop a nice crust and lock in the flavor.
- Roast the pork roast in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
- While the pork roast is cooking, make the mashed potatoes and gravy.
- Serve the pork roast with the mashed potatoes and gravy, and enjoy!
Conclusion:
Pork roast with mashed potatoes and gravy is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for any occasion. The tender pork roast, creamy mashed potatoes, and rich gravy are a delicious combination that will please everyone at the table. This dish is also relatively easy to make, so it's a great option for busy weeknights or lazy weekends.
