The following recipe cooks all day in your crock pot or slow cooker while you are doing other things. That is one of the many reasons I like this way of cooking as well as:
- It frees up my time
- The house smells wonderful while it is cooking
- It uses less energy, so therefore saves money
- Keeps the kitchen cool during the summer months
- I've never had a bad result come out of a crock-pot

Pork shoulder roast meal |
Ingredients
- 1 3-4 pound pork shoulder roast
- 2-3 large carrots peeled and cut into large pieces
- 1 large cooking onion cut into 1/8's
- 2 cans of cream of chicken soup
- 1/4 cup of water
---------------------------------
Side dishes:
- Steamed broccoli
- Mashed Potatoes
Instructions
- When cooking in my crock pot I usually start by spraying it with cooking oil to make clean up easier.
- In the bottom of the crock add one of the carrots, and then place on top of them the pork shoulder.
- Add the rest of the carrots along with the onion placing them around the pork.
- In a measuring cup or bowl mix and whisk the cream of chicken soup together with the water, and pour over the pork.
- Place the cover on the crock pot, set the temperature on low, and cook for 6-8 hours.
- When you are ready to eat remove the pork roast that will more than like fall into several pieces. Remove the carrots and onions placing them either in a bowl on onto serving plates.
- Before the pork was ready I made mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
- On each plate I spooned out the mashed potatoes making a well. I then spooned a bit of the soup mixture onto the potatoes. Normally I wouldn't do this but the pork shoulder I used had very little fat on it. The soup mixture made the perfect gravy.
- Serve and ENJOY!
Do you use your crock-pot or slow cooker very often?
I've had a crock-pot since I was 18 and still have my original one that I'm saving for one of my sons. I have since bought a new one because the crock was not removable making it a little more difficult to clean.
The features I like on my new crock pot include :

This is what I'm cooking for dinner tonight! It's been in the crock pot since early morning and the house smells wonderful. I like to pan sear my pork roast before placing it in the crock pot. The leftovers make great pulled pork sandwiches or burritos.
