Slow Cooker Pork Roast 6-Ingredient
Serves: 6
What You Need
-
3 to 3½ pounds raw boneless pork roast (like shoulder or loin)
-
1 big yellow onion, cut into thin slices
-
3 garlic cloves, chopped small
-
1 cup low-salt chicken broth
-
¼ cup soy sauce (pick low-salt if you want)
-
¼ cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
How to Make Slow Cooker Pork Roast
-
Put the raw pork roast in the slow cooker, fat side up if it has some. This makes the meat juicy as it cooks.
-
Spread the onion slices all around and on top of the pork. Add the chopped garlic too. They make everything smell and taste great.
-
Mix the chicken broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a bowl until the sugar melts a bit. Pour it over the pork and onions.
-
Put the lid on tight. Cook it on LOW heat for 8-10 hours, or HIGH heat for 4-5 hours. The pork should be super soft and easy to pull apart with forks. Don’t peek too soon or it slows cooking!
-
Take the pork out to a plate. Scoop off extra fat from the juices if you like. Pull the pork into small bites with two forks. Throw away big fat bits.
-
Put the pulled pork back in the cooker. Stir it gently in the yummy sauce and onions. Taste it—add a splash of soy or pinch of salt if needed.
-
Set cooker to WARM. Let it sit 10-15 minutes so pork soaks up more flavor. Serve in bowls, on rice, potatoes, or buns.
