Pork Roast in the Slow Cooker

Score the fat side of the pork roast.

Season the pork roast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Heat a large skillet on the stove and add olive oil.

Sear the pork roast on all sides, starting with the fat side down.

Prepare the slow cooker by using Reynolds slow cooker bags for easier cleanup.

Add a can of Rotel to the slow cooker.

Once the pork roast is browned on all sides, place it on top of the Rotel in the slow cooker.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for several hours (while away at work).

When returning home, shred the pork roast.

Take about 2 cups of the shredded pork and mix it with barbecue sauce, then heat it up.

Serve the barbecue pork on buns with chips.

For leftover pork, chop half to three-quarters of an onion and add it to a skillet with frozen bell pepper, salt, and pepper.

Add 2 cups of the shredded pork and ground cumin to the skillet and cook together to make fajitas.

Optionally, make gravy from the Rotel by mixing butter and flour, then adding it to the hot mixture to thicken.

Serve the pork roast with mashed potatoes and gravy if desired.
