Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 roast center-cut pork loin roast, about 3 to 4 pounds
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix, about 1 ounce
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce Use honey-style for a sweeter finish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the raw center-cut pork loin roast in the bottom of a slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the top of the roast.
  3. Pour the chicken broth around the roast.
  4. Spoon the barbecue sauce over the top.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and reaches a safe internal temperature.
  2. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  3. Serve with the juices from the slow cooker spooned over the top.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to check that the pork's internal temperature is at least 145°F. Experiment with different types of barbecue sauce and consider adding vegetables for enhanced flavor. Leftover sliced pork makes wonderful sandwiches.
