  • 2 one-ounce packets dry onion soup mix
  • 2 large yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced

  3. Pat the pork roast dry and place it on top of the onions, fat side up.
  4. Sprinkle the second packet of dry onion soup mix over the pork.
  5. Pour the beef broth around the roast.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or HIGH for 4 to 5 hours until the pork is tender.
Serving

  2. Stir the onions and gravy and serve it over the pork.

Notes

Best served with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the gravy. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Add garlic or herbs to the broth for extra flavor.
