Pork Roast with potatoes and veggies


Don't get scared. I know I am making roast again, but I promise this one isn't like my other roast fiasco..

This one actually tastes good!!!

And, it's pork instead of beef.

My sister had us over for dinner a few weeks ago when we were up in my hometown for my nephew Cooper's baby dedication at their church. She cooked us a pork sirloin roast, and Dave and I were in love. Have you girls ever used this cut of meat before? I hadn't and the texture is so moist and so awesome. It has a ton of flavor, and very little fat.

Kim had just seasoned hers with some spices she had there, and I just improvised my own and it turned out awesome. Here's what I did.

3-4 lb. pork sirloin roast
1 packet lipton onion soup mix (it's all I had on hand, and I thought it would work)
1 can beef broth
a few splashes of red wine (I think I used 1/4 - 1/2 cup)
cubed yukon gold potatoes and sliced carrots

Throw everything in the crockpot and cook on low all day. Oh my word! Yummy! No fuss. No work. Tastes perfect.

Parents Review: We gobbled it up and I could've ate so much more than I did. Restraint. Restraint.

Kids Review: They kept saying "yummy mommy. I like it." Mak didn't love the cooked veggies, but again - nothing new. She ate some raw veggies instead. :-)



Leave me a note if you've stopped by today, OR become a follower if you haven't done so already. I would also love to know if you try this roast. It's a great one. I will be making it again soon!

Happy eating!
