Slow Cooker Parmesan Honey Pork Roast

This is one of my favorite pork recipes!  It is amazing and super flavorful!  My kids aren't super fond of it, but I just give them the meat more in the center of the roast, so it doesn't have as much sauce on it.  You are going to LOVE this one - and as an added bonus - it's a slow cooker recipe!!  There's nothing better than having dinner done in the morning!

Enjoy!

SLOW COOKER PARMESAN HONEY PORK ROAST

1 (2-3 pound) boneless pork roast
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup honey
3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
2 tablespoons dried basil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water

1)  Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.  Place roast in slow cooker.

2)  In a small bowl, combine the cheese, honey, soy sauce, basil, garlic, oil and salt; pour over pork.

3)  Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160F.

4)  Transfer meat to a serving platter; keep warm.

5)  Skim fat from cooking juices; transfer to a small saucepan.  Bring liquid to a boil.  Combine cornstarch and water until smooth.  Gradually stir into pan.  Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

6)  Slice roast; serve with gravy.

NOTES:

~I use Kosher salt.

~You may not be able to "slice" the roast, because it may just fall apart on you, which is a good thing!

~Mashed potatoes are awesome with this dish - the gravy is delicious on them!  Check out my Holiday Mashed Potatoes recipe under "Potatoes", but note, they are best if made the day before!
