 My husband has never claimed to be a big pork eater.  I’m not sure why.  He loves the more processed versions of pork (like  sausage, bacon & shaved ham), but when it comes to pork roasts, pulled pork and pork chops, he’d rather eat beef.  In an effort to broaden our horizons a bit, I decide it was time to try a new pork roast recipe.  For starters, I discovered, it’s definitely cheaper to eat a pork roast than it is a beef one!

You should’ve seen the reactions on my kids’ faces as they saw it cooking.  They looked into the slow cooker and one of them announced that we were having fish.  LOL.  I assured them that this looks nothing like fish (another meat we don’t eat a lot of!).  They said that they thought it may be fish because it was white.  Ahhh, “Pork, the other white meat”.  (Have you heard that commercial?)

Somehow my husband got out of trying this amazing roast as he had a busy evening and ended up grabbing something out while he was running around town, but my kids all tried it and proclaimed that I HAVE to make this again because it was SOOOOO good!  I agree, it was very tasty!  Something I’ll definitely enjoy serving again and hopefully I’ll get my husband to give it a whirl next time!  I think he’ll be surprised at how much he likes it!

Ingredients

  • 1 2-3 pound boneless pork roast
  • 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp dried basil
  • 2 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Mix last 6 ingredients together in a bowl.  Pour over the top of the pork roast in crockpot.  If you're home while it's cooking, you may want to flip the roast at some point so that you can recoat the top of the roast with the honey/parmesan mixture!  Cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.

Freezer to Slow Cooker Directions:

  • You can mix the 6 ingredients together and put in a freezer safe bag and freeze beside the pork roast.  OR, you can place it all in a baggie together.  Just remember that you will need to get it out the night before so that it is thawed when you put it into the crockpot and you can nicely coat the roast.

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
