Elevate your pot roast with succulent pork in this simple slow-cooker twist.
Ingredients:
  • 3 lb boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of visible fat and cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 2 lb baby red potatoes
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and roughly chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 large onion, coarsely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 bulb garlic, cloves peeled
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
Instructions:
  • Combine all ingredients in a labeled 1-gallon freezer bag, except chopped thyme. Lay the bag flat and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Thaw in the refrigerator until completely thawed, for 12 to 24 hours.
  • Empty the bag into a 6-quart slow cooker, cover, and simmer on Low heat for 6 to 7 hours until the potatoes are easily pierced with a paring knife and the pork shreds effortlessly.
  • Shred the pork and quarter the potatoes. Serve the mixture in 8 bowls and top with freshly chopped thyme leaves.
