Another snow day! I am afraid we will be going to school all summer. On this cold, snowy day I am (once again) dragging out my crock pot. I found this recipe on a website and my husband loves it. Below is the actual recipe, but I have altered it a bit and my alterations are at the bottom. Enjoy the pork.
ingredients
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 pinch dried marjoram
1 pinch dried basil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (5 pound) boneless pork loin roast
2 onions, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups light beer
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Combine salt, marjoram, basil, pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture all over the pork roast. Place roast in roasting pan, and surround with onions. Pour beer into pan, and cover. Roast pork for 30 minutes in preheated oven. Uncover, and turn meat over. Continue to roast, checking for doneness every 30 minutes; add additional liquid if pan runs dry. Roast until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees, approximately 2 hours.
I used a Boston butt in place of the loin roast because it was what I had in the freezer. If you don't have marjoram, you can substitute Italian seasoning for the marjoram and basil. I also didn't use nearly as many onions, just a slice or two. No one here is going to eat them and you get plenty of flavor from just a little. I put everything in the crock pot, set it on low and in 8-10 hours it will be done. Serve with mashed potatoes and a green veggie. Happy snow day!
