A delightful and easy-to-make pork roast recipe that is perfect for a comforting family dinner.
Slice the onion into rings and spread them evenly at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Slicing the onion thinly ensures even cooking and flavor distribution.
Place the pork loin roast on top of the onion slices in the slow cooker.
Positioning the pork on the onions prevents it from sticking and adds flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the hot water, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Mixing the sauce ingredients thoroughly ensures a consistent flavor.
Pour the sauce mixture over the pork roast in the slow cooker.
Pouring the sauce evenly over the pork ensures it absorbs the flavors during cooking.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 1 hour, then reduce to low and cook for an additional 4-6 hours, or cook on high for 3-4 hours.
Cooking on low heat for a longer time results in a more tender roast.
Serve the pork roast with the sauce drizzled over the top. Enjoy your meal!
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
