    I headed to the supermarket this morning to do some shopping and decided I didn't feel like cooking dinner tonight. Whenever I don't feel like spending lots of time prepping and cooking, I go to my old stand-by, the slow cooker. Just spend a few minutes adding some ingredients, pop a lid on it, and forget about it until dinner. This Slow Cooker Pork Roast is not only juicy and delicious, but it will free up some precious time in your day. Everyone loves family friendly recipes like this one. Don't forget to check out these other yummy slow cooker recipes.

    Easy Slow Cooker Pork Roast - This is the perfect meal for a busy day. Just assemble a few ingredients in the crock pot and walk away.

    Ingredients:

    • Pork Shoulder Roast (I used a 3 ½ pound roast)
    • Sweet potato
    • Yam
    • ½ white onion cut into large chunks
    • Slow cooker seasoning
    • ½ cup of water
    Ingredients for Slow Cooker Pork Roast

    Season the pork shoulder roast prior to placing it in the slow cooker. In the spice aisle they have slow cooker seasoning packets. I mixed half a packet with ½ cup of water and poured it into the slow cooker. I used the rest of the seasoning packet to rub on the roast. If you don't have a slow cooker seasoning packet, you can used your own spices to season the water and on the roast.

    Add seasoned water and roast to the slow cooker.

    Peel a sweet potato and a yam and cut into large chunks. Place in the slow cooker with the roast.

    Cut ½ large white onion into chunks and add to the slow cooker as well.

    The sweet potato and yam really add a nice sweet flavor to this dish. The pork was so juicy and tender from being cooked in the slow cooker. Best of all, you didn't spend all day in the kitchen.
