Place raw pork roast in a slow cooker with these 2 ingredients. This dish tastes like heaven.

There's something truly comforting about a slow-cooked meal that fills the house with warmth and the aroma of home. This 3-ingredient garlic herb pork roast is a nod to the simple, hearty meals my grandmother used to make on our family farm in the Midwest. With just a few ingredients, this dish captures the essence of traditional cooking, where the quality of the ingredients shines through. It's perfect for those days when you want to savor the flavors of a bygone era without spending hours in the kitchen.

This pork roast pairs beautifully with classic Midwestern sides like buttery mashed potatoes and green beans. You might also consider serving it with a side of homemade applesauce or a crisp garden salad to balance the richness of the pork. A slice of warm, crusty bread would be perfect to soak up the savory juices.

Servings: 6

3-4 pound pork shoulder roast
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons dried Italian herb seasoning

1. Place the pork shoulder roast in the slow cooker.

2. Rub the minced garlic evenly over the surface of the roast.

3. Sprinkle the dried Italian herb seasoning over the garlic-covered roast.

4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

5. Once cooked, remove the roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding.

6. Serve with your choice of sides and enjoy the comforting flavors.

For a bit of sweetness, you can add a sliced onion or a few apple slices to the slow cooker. If you prefer a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes along with the herbs. For a more robust flavor, sear the pork roast in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. This will add a lovely caramelized crust to the meat.
