Number Of Ingredients 12

ROAST:
3-4 lb pork roast
3 c water
GRAVY:
3 Tbsp cornstarch
1 c cold water
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
2 c broth from roast
1 tsp seasoned salt
1 tsp lemon juice
1 small can sliced mushrooms, drained and chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Place roast in roaster or large roasting pan. Pour water into bottom of pan. Cover and cook at 325 degrees until internal temperture of meat on meat thermometer reaches 155 degrees. This should take 1 1/2- 2 1/2 hours depending on the roast you have chosen. When roast reaches 155 degrees remove from pan, strain drippings, and reserve broth. Allow roast to sit for about 20 minutes before slicing.
  • 2. Meanwhile make gravy. Dissolve cornstarch in water. Pour into roasting pan where some drippings remain. Stir until well blended. Add remaining ingredients except mushrooms. Bring to a boil and cook until clear and thickened. Add mushrooms. Serve gravy over sliced meat, mashed potatoes and homemade bread dresing. (See separate recipe for dressing.)
