Easy Slow Cooker Pork Roast with Gravy
Ingredients
Roast
- 2.5 pound pork loin roast
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1-2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
Gravy
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups liquid (juices from the slow cooker and/or chicken broth)
Preparation
Put the pork roast in the crock pot
Sprinkle with desired amount of salt and pepper, trying to get some on the sides, then liberally sprinkle with poultry seasoning
If not using frozen roast, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the crock pot
Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 8-9 hours; if frozen, add 1 hour to cooking time
Gravy
Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet or saucepan, then whisk in 3 tablespoons of flour; let the roux cook over medium heat until golden and the flour is completely absorbed
Add 2 cups of liquid to the butter and flour roux, using the juices from the slow cooker and chicken broth as needed to reach 2 cups; bring to a simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened
Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste and serve with the pork roast
