I didn't list how much of each ingredient to use because it really depends on the size of crowd/family you'll be feeding. Since it generally is just me, hunnybun, and the goobs, I chose a small pork loin out of the freezer, 5 potatoes, and a handful of leftover carrots and celery from the relish container that needed using up. It also depends on the size of your crock pot.
Defrost the pork loin in the microwave, if needed, while you prep/cut up the vegetables. Layer about half of the potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion on the bottom of the pot. Add a little seasoning. Place the pork loin on top and surround it with the rest of the vegetables. Add the water. Season with your choice of seasons. Put the lid on and turn the crock pot on to high for four hours or low for eight hours. (I generally choose high depending on the time of day.)
Cut into the middle to check for doneness (is that even a word?). If you like gravy, take some (or all) of the drippings left in the pot and mix with a packet of gravy (yup, I cheat sometimes, but that's okay).
I think I have the same crock pot!! (Only mine is slighted dented from a rough ride in an airplane)
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe! Our crockpot is circular, not oval, so a 4 pound pork roast doesn't fit unless I saw it in half. when this one dies (it had been faithful ever since receiving it as a wedding gift in 2001), well hey a larger one to cook up longer cuts of most. Our two oldest children will likely be teenagers by then anyway.
