recipe review: herbed pork roast

made this a week ago--dustin really like it!

1 boneless whole pork loin roast (4 lbs)
1 c. water
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 tbsp. rubbed sage
2 tbsp dried parsley flakes
2 tsp pepper
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1 small onion, thinly sliced

cut roast in half. place pork and water in slow cooker, spread butter over meat. combine the sage, parsley, pepper, garlic, oregano, and salt. sprinkle over meat. top with onion. cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.


like i said, dustin really liked this one. i pretty much followed the recipe exactly--left the meat in the fridge overnight with all the seasonings, and i think that was a good thing. i also used extra butter (of course!)

by the time i had gotten home, the meat had been cooking for over 9 hours, so it was really tender and basically fell apart. it was great! we also had mashed potatoes and corn. yum yum.

this made a LOT of food, so i would recommend it for a big family dinner.
