Pork Roast, it's whats for dinner

Everyone needs a good basic Pork roast recipe. Roasts have that nostalgic taste of home. They are classic and timeless. There are so many variations and styles out there but sometimes its good to go back to an old fashioned style roast like mother used to make

A good roast should be flavorful and moist with a nice crust on the outside and should taste like you've spent forever in the kitchen. Cooking a roast in the oven often turns out to dry and you have to pay more attention to it while cooking so instead I use my trusty crock pot. Making it in the crock pot does not establish quite as nice of a crust on the outside as dry cooking but I'm willing to sacrifice that for a no hassle meal.

Pork Roast in the slow cooker

1-2 lb pork roast
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp chopped fresh sage
1 tbs rosemary
7 whole cloves garlic
1/2 onion sliced onion
Fresh ground pepper

Place the roast in the bottom of the crock pot. Add the chicken broth, then add all the spices onto the top of the roast and rub it in slightly to fully cover the top of the roast. Add the bay leaves, onions and garlic. Place on low for 6 hours.
