The crock pot strikes again
Mmmmmmmmmm. This one was SO good!! I was totally leary about trying it - but it was totally worth it!

The recipe calls for a beef roast but I used a pork shoulder roast (jsut what I had in the fridge LOL). Mmmmm. Even Aaron loved it which says a LOT HAHAHA.

Slow Cooker Cranberry Roast

PREP TIME 15 Min COOK TIME 8 Hrs READY IN 8 Hrs 15 Min

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
  • 1 (3 pound) beef chuck roast (or pork roast)
  • 1 (16 ounce) can jellied cranberry sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place onion soup mix in the bottom of a slow cooker. Place roast in the slow cooker, and top with cranberry sauce.
  2. Cover, and cook 8 hours on Low.
  3. Remove roast, and set aside. Set slow cooker to High. Whisk together butter and flour, and slowly mix into the liquid remaining in the slow cooker to create a thick gravy. Serve with the roast. ***I strained the onions out of the gravy :)
I served it with mashed potatoes and other typical side stuff - it was super yummy.

Enjoy! LOL.

    OH, yum! I need to pull the crock pot down and try this one. Dad is such a cranberry fan--he'll love it!

    I definitely will have to try this one. It looks super easy, and very unusual. I would never have paired onion soup and cranberry sauce in the same recipe, but I will trust you. I think it will be my 2nd roast to cook in my entire life!
