SLOW-COOKER CRANBERRY-ORANGE PORK ROAST image

Categories     Pork     Dinner     Casserole/Gratin     Fall     Healthy

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 T. oil
1 flat boneless pork loin roast
1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
1/2 c. Kraft Classic Catalina dressing
1 T. less-sodium soy sauce
1 T. cornstarch
1 t. zest and 1/4 c. juice from 1 orange

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in large skillet on med-high heat. Add meat; cook 4-5 min. on each side or until browned on both sides. Transfer meat to slow cooker. 2. Mix cranberry sauce, dressing and soy sauce; pour over meat. Cover with lid. 3. Cook on low 4-5 hrs. Remove meat from slow cooker, reserving liquid in slow cooker. Cover meat to keep warm. Whisk remaining ingredients in small bowl until blended; stir into liquid in slow cooker. Cook, covered, on high 10 min. or until thickened. 4. Slice meat; place on platter. Drizzle with some of the sauce. Serve with remaining sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are all good options for slow-cooker cranberry roast. These cuts are tough, but the slow cooking process will tenderize them.
  • Brown the meat before cooking: Browning the meat in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker will help develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of spices: A combination of spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin, will add flavor to the roast.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure there is enough room for the meat and vegetables to cook evenly.
  • Cook the roast on low for 8-10 hours: This will allow the meat to become tender and fall apart.
  • Serve the roast with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and cranberry sauce are all good options.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooker cranberry roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. The combination of tender meat, tangy cranberries, and flavorful spices makes this dish a winner. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
