With the Christmas season being so close time can get a little crunch. At times like these, I Love my Slow Cooker. This Slow Cooker Pork Roast recipe is just great.
I was kind of surprised that the Onion Soup mix and Cranberries go together so well. It is just delicious. It produces a succulent gravy to serve over Mashed Potatoes. Enjoy

Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Roast Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3-3 1/2 lb) pork loin roast
- 5 tablespoons oil, divided (or use as much as needed)
- 1/2 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 8 garlic cloves (optional or use as many as desired, I use lots!)
- 1/3 cup French dressing
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 (16 ounces) can whole berry cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Using a strainer separate the dried onions from the dry powder; place the dry onions in a separate bowl.
- Rub the roast all over with 2 tablespoons oil, then season the pork loin with the onion soup powder, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Brown the roast on all sides in hot oil then allow cooling slightly.
- Make small slits all over in the roast, then stuff with garlic cloves.
- Place the roast in the slow cooker.
- In a bowl whisk the French dressing with the cornstarch until smooth then add in the cranberry sauce and dried onions; mix until combined.
- Pour the mixture over and around the pork.
- Cover and cook on HIGH heat for 4 hours or on LOW for about 7-8 hours or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
