Slow Cooker Pork Roast with Vegetables
This delicious one dish crockpot recipe combines a pork sirloin roast with lots of vegetables, seasoned with allspice and apple butter.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 8 hours

Total Time: 8 hours, 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 lb. boneless pork sirloin roast
  • 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 acorn squash
  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled
  • 1/2 cup apple butter
  • 3 Tbsp. prepared horseradish
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp. ground allspice
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

Heat oil in a heavy skillet and cook pork roast until browned on all sides, turning occasionally. This should take about 10 minutes.

Top with browned pork roast.

Delicious and quick, Guest Erin

I was a little dubious about the amount of horseradish and was afraid it would be overpowering but the sauce ended up being delicious. The pork and squash and sweet potatoes were nice and tender. I will definitely make this again!
