Ingredients

- 1 packet onion soup mix
Instructions
- Prepare the pork:
Place the pork roast into your slow cooker. - Mix the sauce:
In a bowl, combine honey, mustard, and onion soup mix. Stir until smooth. - Coat the roast:
Pour the mixture evenly over the pork, making sure it’s well coated. - Cook low and slow:
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart. - Optional step:
For a thicker sauce, remove the pork, then simmer the liquid in a saucepan for a few minutes until reduced. - Serve:
Slice or shred the pork and spoon the sauce over the top.
Description
The pork becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender as it slowly cooks in a rich honey mustard glaze. The sweetness of the honey balances perfectly with the tangy mustard and savory onion flavor, creating a comforting and flavorful dish that pairs beautifully with potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
Tips
- Use pork shoulder for extra tenderness and shredding.
- Add carrots or potatoes to the slow cooker for a complete one-pot meal.
- For extra flavor, sear the pork in a pan before placing it in the slow cooker.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey to taste.
Correction (Helpful Notes)
- Make sure not to overcook on HIGH, as the pork can dry out.
- If using a lean cut like pork loin, check earlier to prevent dryness.
- Stir the sauce halfway through cooking if possible for even coating.
