~ SWEET & SPICY PORK ROAST ~ SLOW COOKER



~ Sweet & Spicy Pork Roast ~ Slow Cooker image

My family really enjoyed the sweet and spicy flavor of this pork. So tender you could cut it with a fork. I served mine in slices with a side of macaroni and cheese and a vegetable. This would also be excellent in a sandwich. No matter how you serve it, it's delicious! I believe this would be great on chicken, also. Enjoy!

Time 8h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

RUB MIX
3/4 c brown sugar
2 Tbsp spicy montreal steak seasoning
1 Tbsp each - kosher salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder
1 tsp red pepper
PORK
3 1/2 - 4 lb pork roast - i used pork shoulder end roast - any pork roast would work
1 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse and dry pork. Rub with olive oil all over. Mix rub ingredients. I used half of the mix to cover my pork. You can halve the recipe if you like. I made enough to use for another day. Store in a jar with lid.
  • 2. Pat the rub evenly over the roast. Place in slow cooker and cover. I cooked mine for 8 hours on low and let set for another hour on warm, covered. Or, cook until desired tenderness. This could be done on a low temperature in your oven as well. I'm sure you could cook it on high for a couple hours, then low until good and tender.
  • 3. After carving, I ladled some juices from slow cooker, over the meat. Yum! Enjoy!
