Honey Mustard Pork Roast

First off, thank you Kelli for starting this! This will be a great way to share all those recipes we ask from each other, and let everyone else have it at the some time. I'm excited to see more of everyone's recipes. I'm already hungry again. ;)

This is the recipe I used for our Pork Roast last Saturday. However I did a few things different as I didn't have everything on hand. I added one peeled, cut up apple to the garlic and onion mix, instead of honey mustard, I used dijon mustard, and I didn't add anything extra when making the gravy. It was still really good. I served it with boiled potatoes...thats right, boiled. I was going to make it into mashed potatoes, but decided not to. They were still good with butter and s&p.

I got the recipe from about.com

Honey mustard, onions, and garlic season a boneless pork roast to perfection as it slowly cooks in your slow cooker. If you want to use more than five ingredients, you could add baby carrots or some thickly sliced, peeled apples along with the onions and garlic.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 7 hours
Total Time: 7 hours, 10 minutes
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients:
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup honey mustard
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1 (3 lb.) rolled boneless pork roast
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water


Preparation:
n 4-6 quart crockpot, place onions and garlic. Season pork roast with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with thyme. Spread honey mustard on roast. Place coated roast on top of onions and garlic; add chicken broth. Cover crockpot and cook on low for 7-8 hours.

Remove roast and cover with foil to keep warm while making sauce. Combine cornstarch and water in a medium saucepan and blend with wire whisk. Add juices and cooked onions and garlic from crockpot to saucepan and cook over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens, stirring frequently.

Season to taste. Add more salt, pepper, thyme, or honey mustard if needed. The crockpot mutes these flavors because of its long cooking time. Serve roast with sauce.

If you have a new hotter crockpot, check the roast at 6 hours.
