Do you enjoy doing dishes? Me either! That is just one of the great things about this One-Pot Crock Pot Dinner! It is easy, delicious and a great way to have your meal done in one dish!

Michael and I found an amazing deal on some pork butt roast. When we were talking about what we wanted to do with it, I knew that this One-Pot Crock Pot Pork Dinner would be perfect! My kids devoured the veggies! Ryder was stealing carrots off of everyone’s plates!

One-Pot Crock Pot Pork Dinner Notes:
- You can adapt how many carrots and potatoes you use. When we make this again, I am going to add more veggies. More potatoes and a ton more carrots. If I can get my kids to devour veggies, I am going to add all of them I can fit in the crock pot!
- I used good ol’ Cera (my 6 Quart Crock Pot with Ceramic Coated Pot) and it worked perfectly! With as much meat and veggies as this recipe provides, I would use a 6 quart or larger. If you don’t need quite as much food at your house, you can completely cut the size of the meat and add as few or many veggies as you want!

I really like the sound of this one! I just purchased my first electric pressure cooker. I’ve done lots of stove top pressure cooking but this is a new venture. Could this recipe be adapted? Appreciate all your recipes.
Hi Barbara!
We have started adapting recipes for an electric pressure cooker, but have not done this specific recipe yet. You can find the recipes we have done so far here: http://www.recipesthatcrock.com/?s=electric+pressure+cooker. If you give it a try, let us know how it turns out! Enjoy!

No Liquid at all? Just meat and Veggies?
Hi Paula!
For this recipe, we had a meat with a good fat content, so we tried it without water, and it worked out wonderfully. However, if you have a leaner cut of meat, or are nervous about not adding any water, you could always add a cup of water and it shouldn’t take away from the flavoring of the meat. Enjoy!

No liquid is used with the pork roast meal?
Hi Lee!
My roast had a good fat content, so we tried it without water and loved it! However, if you have a leaner cut of meat, or are nervous about not adding any water, you could always add a cup of water and it shouldn’t take away from the flavoring of the meat. Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
Just want to make sure…..
The roast looks like it was browned before putting it in but it doesn’t state that in the directions. How does it get so brown ? Kitchen Bouquet ?
And no liquid ?
Love getting your emails !
Thanks,
Dottie
Hi Dottie!
I’m so glad you love the emails! We love hearing that people enjoy all the things we do around here!
It actually was not browned, just put fat side up in the crock pot, as well as seasoned with the spices in the recipe. Since the meat has a good fat content, it creates its own juices, but if you use a leaner meat or if you are just not comfortable with not adding in the liquid, you can add in a cup of water. Enjoy!

Could this be made with pork tenderloin??
Hi Barbara!
I haven’t tried it with a pork tenderloin, but think it could work. Watch it closely the first time you make it in case the cooking time varies. Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
It sounds delicious. I am eager to try it. I love crock pot cooking! Thanks for sending it to me.
You are quite welcome Joyce!
You are going to love this! We were fighting over the leftovers by the time we got to the end! 😉
Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
I am looking forward to making this meal. I might make it tomorrow.
Hi Janet!
I hope you enjoy this as much as my family did!
Aunt Lou
Just had this for supper – might be the best roast dinner I’ve ever made!
I am a bachelor and I am just amazed how easy these recipes are. I come home from work and just pop the leftovers in the microwave…
Easy recipes are the best! So glad you like them!
Love the sound of this recipe and can’t wait to try it. Somehow, the pork I have been buying lately is totally void of taste. Must be something I’m doing but will definitely try this one.
This recipe will definitely help your pork have some flavor! Enjoy!
Someone already asked this, but never got an answer. Could you use a pork tenderloin for this? Thanks so much for any help you can give me. 🙂
I haven’t tried this with a tenderloin, but think it could work. As with any recipe you try for the first time, watch it closely the first time you make it so you’ll know how quickly your slow cooker cooks it. Enjoy!
