Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Roast
Ingredients
  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
  • 1 (3 pound) pork sirloin roast
  • 1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Cover the pork roast evenly with a generous amount of soup mix, ensuring it's well-coated on all sides.
2
Place the pork roast in a slow cooker and generously pour cranberry sauce over the top, making sure it's evenly distributed.
3
Cover the slow cooker and cook on a low setting for an extended period of time, approximately 8 to 10 hours, or until the pork is slightly tender in the center.
4
To verify doneness, insert an instant-read thermometer into the center of the pork roast and check that it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
5
Transfer the cooked pork roast to a serving platter, reserving the juices that accumulated in the slow cooker for later use.
6
In a saucepan, heat butter over low heat until it begins to melt.
7
Gradually whisk in flour to create a smooth, consistent paste.
8
Carefully pour the reserved juices from the slow cooker into the saucepan with melted butter and flour mixture.
9
Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens and lightens in color, approximately 5 minutes.
10
Season the finished gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
11
Serve the savory pork roast alongside the rich, homemade gravy.
