Slow Cooker Balsamic Pork Roast Recipes

SLOW COOKER BALSAMIC BROWN SUGAR PORK ROAST

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine sage, brown sugar, salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Rub the pork on all sides with this mixture.
• Over high heat, add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to a cast iron skillet (or whatever skillet you have on hand). Once the skillet is very hot, carefully add the pork roast and sear on each side for about 10-15 seconds until a nice crust forms.
• Transfer pork roast to a crockpot along with apple cider vinegar and water. Cook on low heat for 7-8 hours. When done, pork will be very tender and pull apart easily with a fork.
• About 15 minutes before you are ready to eat the roast, make the balsamic glaze. Add all balsamic glaze ingredients to a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until sauce thickens and turns into a glaze, stirring frequently, about 10-15 minutes.
• Remove pork from the crockpot and serve with the balsamic glaze.

• Once the pork is cooked and tender (it should shred easily with a fork), remove from slow cooker with tongs into a serving dish.
• Break apart lightly with two forks and put back into the slow cooker.
• Ladle 1/2 cup sauce over the pork and keep warm until ready to eat.

SLOW COOKER PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Rub pork roast all over with onion soup mix and place roast in the slow cooker. Pour cranberry sauce over roast.
• Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours. Remove roast to a platter, reserving juices in the slow cooker.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Whisk flour into melted butter to form a paste. Pour reserved juices from the slow cooker into the butter mixture, whisking constantly, until gravy lightens in color and thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve gravy alongside roast.

BALSAMIC BROWN SUGAR GLAZED PORK ROAST IN THE SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Layer sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place pork roast on top of onions.
• Mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme - sprinkle on the roast.
• Pour stock carefully around the side of the roast.
• Cook on LOW for 5-6 hours, or high for 4-5.
• 30 minutes before the roast is done, mix together brown sugar, water, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar in a small pot. On medium-low heat, bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce by about 1/3 or until slightly thick. Set glaze aside.
• When roast is done, take out of slow cooker and place in a roasting pan.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Pour 1/3 of the glaze over the roast and place in the oven. Continue to glaze roast every 5 minutes until glaze is used up.
• Take roast out of oven, loosely tent with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Slice or shred with a fork. Serve with extra drippings.

SLOW COOKER BALSAMIC PORK ROAST WITH SCALLOPED POTATOES AND EASY STEAMED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Cook the pork: Rub the salt and pepper over the pork. Place the pork in a slow cooker and pour the vinegar over the top. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.
• About an hour before the pork is done, make the scalloped potatoes: Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In a 2-quart square baking dish, toss the potatoes with the melted butter, garlic powder, salt, thyme, sage, and pepper. Arrange the potato slices in even layers in the baking dish, overlapping the potatoes in each layer slightly, then pour the cream over the top. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the baking dish, top the potatoes evenly with the cheese, and bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes more, or until the cheese is bubbling.
• Just before serving, steam the broccoli: Place the broccoli in a large glass bowl and add about ¼ cup water. Cover with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap and microwave on high for 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender. (Alternatively, place the broccoli in a medium pot and add ¼ cup water. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat, then cover and cook the broccoli for 10 minutes, or until tender.) Drain the broccoli and transfer to a serving dish. Add the butter, salt, and pepper and gently toss to combine. Cover and keep hot until serving time.
• When the pork is done cooking, baste it with the vinegar mixture in the slow cooker. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and cut it in half. Slice one portion and set it aside. Shred the remaining pork either with two forks or using a stand mixer, then transfer it to an airtight container (you should have about 3 cups), and refrigerate for another use.
• Serve the sliced pork with the scalloped potatoes and broccoli alongside.
