Slow Cooker Pork Roast

Slow cooker meals are the best. You can spend about 10 minutes prepping, turn that sucker on and leave the apartment and then come back to a delicious meal. I think I found a winner with recipe. It's super simple, makes a great meal, plus there's always tons of leftovers for sandwiches! And the best part is that it's easy enough for my boyfriend to put together too! Bonus! 

Slow Cooker Pork Roast

Ingredients:
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 bag potatoes, peeled and quartered
1/4 cup water
Raw pork roast
1/4 cup of your favorite dry rub (I love "Brisket of Love" from the www.thespicehouse.com

For gravy:
2 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. flour

Directions:
1. Line bottom of slow cooker with chopped onions. Place potatoes on top of onions. Pour in water. 
2. Coat roast throughly with your favorite rub, covering all sides. Place on top of potatoes. 
3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours in slow cooker. 
4. To make gravy, combine flour and water to make a roux. Strain drippings in to saucepan, removing any meat or vegetables. Bring drippings to a boil and gradually add roux until desired thickness is obtained, stirring constantly. Remove gravy from heat and spoon over meat and potatoes. Enjoy!
