Tasty Tuesday: Cranberry Dijon Pork Roast

This time of year, I love crock pot meals. Usually we have an after school activity going on once a week and having dinner ready to go in the crock pot gives me one less thing to worry about. This is a great one. I made some roasted root vegetables to go along with it including carrots, turnips, parsnips and sweet potatoes, just cube them up, toss with olive oil and salt and pepper and roast at 375 for 30 or 40 minutes.

Cranberry Dijon Pork Roast (Taste of Home)

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless pork loin roast (2 to 3 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 envelope golden onion soup mix
  • 1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Directions

  • In a large skillet, brown roast in butter on all sides. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker; sprinkle with soup mix. Add cranberry sauce to skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Pour over roast.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until meat is tender. Remove roast to a serving platter; keep warm. Strain cooking juices and stir in mustard. Slice roast; serve with sauce. Yield: 6 servings.

On the menu for next week, thank you. But when I view your recipe the directions have dots going through them. Is this me or you?
I have a pork roast in the crock pot right now! We are doing pulled pork BBQ style on buns tonight after the first soccer game of the tournament! I am so excited for this tourny!!
