Slow Cooker Italian-Style Pork Roast image

If you are a pork roast enthusiast, this is definitely one to add to your collection. The pork is simmered in a tomato sauce, and served over hot rice or noodles. The recipe calls for beans, I did not use any since my kids don't like them.

Time 8h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 -3 lbs boneless boston pork roast
1 large onion, quartered and thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups tomato and basil pasta sauce (I used recipe # 22280) or 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce (I used Homemade Pizza Sauce)
2 -16 ounces great northern beans or 2 -16 ounces cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup shredded fresh basil (optional) or 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine garlic, salt, basil, oregano and red pepper flakes in small bowl; rub over roast.
  • Place half of onion slices into slow cooker. Cut roast in half to fit into slow cooker. Place one half of roast over onion slices; top with remaining onion slices and other half of roast. Pour pasta sauce over roast. Cover; cook on LOW 8 to 9 hours until roast is fork tender.
  • Remove roast from cooking liquid; tent with foil. Let liquid in slow cooker stand 5 minutes to allow fat to rise. Skim off fat.
  • Stir beans into liquid. Cover; cook on HIGH 10 to 15 minutes or until beans are hot. Cut pork. Serve with beans mixture and garnish wi fresh basil, if desired.
  • I did not use the beans, so I used corn starch to thicken the liquid and spooned it over the rice and pork.
