We love to make Pork Roast in crock pot with potatoes.

Toss in a few potatoes and you have everything you need for the perfect meal. We love doing this when we have little time to prepare anything else.

Everyone enjoys it and the potatoes get the best flavor from simmering with the pork roast and gravy.

If we have a few extra minutes, this meal is amazing with mashed potatoes. The recipe already has carrots and they have the best flavor from cooking with the pork roast.

Sometimes, for a change we leave out the carrots and cook them separately. We love Sweet Glazed Carrots in the crockpot with brown sugar.

Oh and bread is a must! We make these Easy Homemade Dinner Rolls and dip them into the gravy. Yum!

Can I put a frozen pork roast in the crockpot?

Yes, you absolutely can. Just adjust the time accordingly for the frozen meat.

    Oh my this looks tasty. Wondering can you just pull the roast out and slice to serve instead of shredding? Also was wondering about using Pork Gravy mix (Like McCormick’s) instead of the plain cornstarch & water? Also, if I did that would I use the same amount of water or do you think make according to package directions? Thanks.

    What size crockpot for a 3 lb pork roast?
    I’ve learned from experience that that it definitely makes a difference.

  3. Shari says

    This recipe looks great! I wanted to help you edit it. When describing how to make the gravy, you mention adding cornstarch and water to the BEEF juice. It should be pork, I would guess. Just trying to help.
