Notes
- Before you hit “start” on the slow cooker, take a few minutes to sear that pork roast! It’s totally worth it, as those golden brown edges add a ton of flavor you just can’t get from tossing it in raw.
- When it’s done cooking, grab a meat thermometer to check that the pork has hit 145°F. No guesswork needed, and it keeps everything safe and juicy.
- And if your sauce turns out a little runny, scoop out the pork and pour the juices into a saucepan. Let it simmer for 5–10 minutes.
