Pork POT Roast

This is a delicious way to cook a Pork Roast.
The Pork cooks in a slow cooker and when finished the meat is so flavorful, moist, and tender.
I am always on the look out for a new way to cook Roasts. I found this recipe on Cooks Country and adapted it a bit.
This will make a perfect Sunday Lunch or Dinner!
