Pork Roast Dinner

Tonight we had another dish that Olivia loved. I always have to note that because she is becoming a rather picky eater.

Pork Roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, & green beans & almonds (simply steam green giant brand-frozen food section)


Pork Roast

2 lb pork loin roast
1 small onion
2-3 garlic cloves
garlic powder to taste
salt and pepper to taste
a small amount of water


Cut up the onion and layer half of it on the bottom of the slow cooker, put some garlic on the bottom as well. Salt and pepper the bottom side of the roast and lay it on top of the onions. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder on the top of the roast and then lay the rest of the onions and garlic cloves on top. Add about an inch of water to the slow cooker. Cook in the slow cooker for 6 hours on low.




Making Gravy with Flour

1 Place pan on stove on medium high heat. Put about 1/2 Cup of juice from roast in pan.

2 Into the 2 tablespoons of drippings in the pan stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour. Stir with a wire whisk until the flour has thickened and the gravy is smooth. Continue to cook slowly to brown the flour, and stir constantly.

3 Slowly add either water, milk, stock, or cream to the gravy, enough to make 2 cups. I used milk for this gravy. I also added more juice from roast. Season the gravy with salt and pepper.
