This recipe was nothing to write home about. It was good, not great. I would say it falls into the 'don't need to make again' category, but this is just my opinion. Erik didn't eat dinner last night so we'll have to see what he says after he eats his helping for lunch. But, Pork falls into my Chicken category, where I'm not AS crazy but still a little bit crazy. If it isn't pure white in the middle, I panic. Now, while my brain knows that meat that has been cooking for 9 hours is done, there's still the part of me that sees Pork that isn't white and I tend to go a little ka-ka-coo-coo.
The recipe from Fix it and Forget It:
Pork Roast with Potatoes and Onions
2 1/2-3lb Pork Roast
1 large garlic clove, slivered
5-6 potatoes, cubed
1 large onion, sliced
3/4 cup broth, tomato juice, or water (I happened to have Tomato Juice, so I used that)
1 1/2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. cold water
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
The recipe calls for slicing the pork and putting the garlic in then putting under the broiler. My pork was still too frozen to do that so I just dropped it all right into the crock pot.
Drop all ingredients (except water and cornstarch) into crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours.
Remove Roast and Veggies from liquid
Add cornstarch and water to liquid in slow cooker and cook on high until thickened (mine required LOTS of cornstarch and still didn't get as thick as I had imagined it would).
Pour gravy over meat and veggies and Bon Appetit!
Rating 2.5-3/5
