It’s a rainy morning here in Oregon. I’m sitting here in my home office writing the Pork Roast I cooked in my crock pot recently, and I’m getting hungry!

We loved this new pork roast recipe I found on Pinterest, from Six Sisters Stuff. What cracks me up about the picture I took of our meal is that, while I normally add color to our meal, with salad or veggies, this one is hysterical looking.

The night I made Parmesan honey pork roast, my husband asked for baked beans to go with the meat and mashed potatoes, so everything I served us that night was BROWN. I should have re-named this meal “The Entirely Brown Meal”. Oh well- even though the color scheme on our plates was beyond boring, at least it tasted fantastic!

The pork roast only took 10 minutes to get ready, then cooked all day in my crock pot. By dinnertime the house smelled wonderful and all I had to do was slice it, make a quick gravy with the juices, and serve it. How hard is that?

Keyword: pork roast
Servings: 5 servings
Calories Per Serving: 595 kcal
Author: JB @ The Grateful Girl Cooks!
Ingredients
  • 1 (2-3 pound) boneless pork roast
  • 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 Tablespoons 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
Instructions
To prepare/cook the pork roast:
  1. Lightly spray a crock pot with a non-stick cooking spray. Place the pork roast in the crock pot.
  2. In a small bowl, place the Parmesan cheese, honey, soy sauce, basil, garlic, olive oil and salt. Mix these ingredients well until fully combined. Pour this mixture over the surface of the pork roast to cover.
  3. Place the lid on the crock pot. Cook the pork roast for 6-7 hours on LOW (or until meat thermometer reaches 160 degrees).
  4. Once the meat is done cooking, CAREFULLY remove the pork roast from crock pot and place it onto a serving dish. Place aluminum foil over top of the roast to keep it warm while you make the gravy.
To make the gravy:
  1. Skim the fat off the top of the cooking juice left in crock pot. Place the juices into a medium sized saucepan. Cook the juices on medium heat until they come to a boil. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch into the cold water. Mix well to remove any lumps, until mixture is smooth. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the boiling juices. Make sure the gravy comes to a boil again, then cook and stir it for approximately 2 minutes (or until it thickens up!).
  2. Remove foil from pork roast, then cut into slices. Place slices onto individual plates and spoon some of the gravy over the meat. (I also served mashed potatoes with the gravy on top...they were a delicious side dish with the pork, and especially with the flavorful gravy!)
  3. Enjoy!

I made some Crock Pot Refried Beans recently. From scratch. No cans involved. Guess what? They were absolutely delicious!  Really… these refried beans taste fantastic, they are inexpensive to make, and EASY!

I have been reading through a great book I own called “100 Days Of Real Food”, by author Lisa Leake, and came across this recipe for non-fried, refried beans, made from scratch.

The recipe can be thrown together in about 10 minutes in a crock pot. The pinto beans and spices are slow-cooked for 8-10 hours, lightly mashed, then served. How easy is THAT???

Crock Pot Refried Beans Are EASY To Prepare

I started my crock pot when I got my morning coffee, and we enjoyed them with our evening meal later that day. They were so good! When the beans were ready, I took out half of them, mashed them and served them with cheddar cheese melted on top.

I took the other half of the beans (which were still in the flavored broth and served them just as they were (un-mashed) to my husband (because that is his favorite way to eat pinto beans).

Pinto beans are used to make refried beans... very economical!

The cost of a bag of dry pinto beans is minimal, and this recipe produces just under 4 cups of refried beans, so it is a great budget item, too! And, seriously, these beans are amazingly good!

We have used crock pot refried beans with tacos, burritos and tostadas, all with fantastic results. Here are some pics from while I made them:
