Very bland. Reading the recipe I knew it would be, but opted to try it as written. For the leftovers, there was a lot since my whole family found it flavorless, I added ½ tablespoon Paprika – 2 teaspoons Thyme – 2 teaspoons Celery seed – 1 teaspoon Oregano – ¼ teaspoon Rosemary – ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper – 8oz of dark beer, then simmered it for an hour. They all loved the leftovers.
So tender, you don’t need a knife… The only thing I did different was I used Louisiana Seasoning when I seared it, which gave it a nice blackened appeal. I substituted carrots with brussel sprouts.
Classic pork roast with great flavors. Love the addition of the mushrooms.
Didn’t use any broth or H20 but made my own rub consisting of mustard, olive oil, worcestershire, oregano and fresh chopped garlic. Tender!!!
Love this recipe! It was simple to make and delicious. I wanted a recipe that the meat didn’t fall apart but was very tender and had a great flavor. This recipe is my go to for a roast.
Excellant
Unbelievable!, This was so easy to prepare,,, my wife loved it and had both of my kids over they loved it, did not change the recipe at all, did it exactly like the recipe said it turned out perfect!
I followed the recipe as written with the following exceptions: omitted the water and used chicken stock, white potatoes, garlic cloves and seasoned generously after reading other reviews then placed everything in a slower cooker for seven hours. The meat was falling apart, I will definitely make this again.
I followed recipe, but, since I’m from Louisiana, I added Tony’s. I used chicken broth instead of water. Delicious!!
First time I made a pork roast. Super simple, tender and tasty. Not sure what to do with the liquid, I think I’ll use it to cook kale in tomorrow.
It was delicious! Will definitely make again.
First time making Pork Butt. This recipe was very easy and the pork just fell off the bone. Surprised just how tender the meat was. Wonderful!
Delicious! I made it without potatoes since I am a diabetic.
I made this exactly as described, minus the mushrooms with celery in it’s place ! It was absolutely delicious ! Tender, flavorful pork butt ! Oh, I did put the carrots in an hour before the rest of the vegetables though ( at the 2 hr. mark instead of the 3 hr. mark ).
No changes and yes I will make it again.
So good! The only changes I made was using 4 cups chicken broth instead of water and omitting the mushrooms because I don’t like them. I will definitely be making this again!
I cooked this in a crock pot on high for a little over 7 hours. I used Montreal Seasoning instead of listed seasonings. I used 2 small cans of sliced mushrooms, no carrots, 1 big onion, 20 baby potatoes and chicken bone broth. I probably should have trimmed some of the fat off the meat before searing it, but it was still very tender and tasty.
A super easy but very delicious dish! I made this for company and everyone loved it!
I guess you CAN teach old dogs new tricks! When I made this this evening, I used Montreal Steak Seasoning and chicken stock, as previously suggested, in a Dutch Oven (browned and roasted in one pot). Added potatoes, celery, and carrots. Also threw in some sweet potatoes the last half hour. This is the BEST pork roast I’ve ever had. My husband said he thinks he’ll keep me around for another week! Woohoo.
This is a wonderful recipe! Thank you for sharing-we added applewood rub and it tasted delicious!
I’ve never made a pork roast before. I made it exactly as directed minus the mushrooms. My boyfriend doesn’t really like pork and is very picky and even he said it was “delicious”!! I’m keeping this as a favorite!!
