This heartwarming one-dish meal is adapted from a Pennsylvania Dutch recipe. I start the pot roast cooking before I leave for church, adding the vegetables when I get home. Then I just sit back and relax until it’s done
Ingreadient
- 1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (2-1/2 to 3 pounds), halved
- 1-1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 6 medium red potatoes, cut into 2-inch chunks
- 4 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1/2 pound medium fresh mushrooms, halved
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/4 teaspoon browning sauce
Direction
- Place roast in a 5-qt. slow cooker; add broth, onions and seasonings. Cook, covered, on high for 4 hours. Add potatoes, carrots and mushrooms. Cook, covered, on high 1 hour longer or until vegetables are tender. Remove meat and vegetables; keep warm. Discard bay leaf.
- In a saucepan, combine flour and cold water until smooth; stir in 1-1/2 cups cooking juices. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened, 2 minutes; add browning sauce. Serve gravy with roast and vegetables and if desired, top with additional green onions.
