I'm fairly new to this crockpot deal, but the pork turned out delicious. I put mine over egg noodles with some of the drippings from the crockpot, and my husband put bbq sauce on his. Mine is a large crockpot (6 qt) and the roast was about 7 lbs, and it only took about 4 hrs. on high. Meat doesn't shrink very much and I've been eating it for several meals. Enjoy!

I just made the pork in the crock pot. Made my own slaw. This pork is unbelievable. It is great with the onions, second time I made it, I added more onions.
