Serve this easy, no fuss pork roast along with mashed potatoes, rice or egg noodles so that none of the delicious gravy will be wasted.
2-3 lb. boneless pork roast
2 /3 c. grated Parmesan cheese (not shredded)
1/2 c. honey
3 T. soy sauce, regular or low-sodium
2 T. dried basil
2 t. garlic powder
onion powder, to taste
2 T. olive oil
1/2 - 3/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
2 T. cornstarch
1/4 c. cold water
Line a slow cooker with a slow cooker liner for easy clean up. Then spray the liner with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the pork roast in the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, honey, soy sauce, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, oil and salt and pepper; pour over pork.
Cover and cook on low 6-7 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Add a little more water if it looks like the sauce is getting too thick.
Remove roast to a serving platter; keep warm with aluminum foil draped over it.
Skim the fat from the cooking juices; transfer to a small saucepan. Bring the liquid to a boil.
Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl or mug until smooth. Gradually stir it into the pan. Bring it to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Slice the pork roast; serve meat with gravy.
