When You Buy Pork, You Are Supporting Local Farmers And Many Communities

One of the things I love about buying pork is that when you head to the store to get pork for a meal, you are supporting so many Americans.

You are supporting everyone from the farmer to their kids to everyone in the community.

At least one-third of all pork sold in the United States comes from Iowa. And Iowa pork farmers support high school sports, youth leadership programs, offer scholarships for college, and so much more.

How To Determine When The Slow Cooker Pork Roast Is Finished Cooking

When you are cooking pork in a slow cooker, you will be cooking it for about eight hours. At that time, the pork will become tender and will be done cooking.

Typically, the internal temperature of pork needs to be 145 degrees when grilling, frying or baking in the oven.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Grease the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or some butter, and place the pork in the bottom of the slow cooker.

For this recipe, I used pork prime boneless Boston pork butt, and it came out so tender and delicious.

Next, add the potatoes to the pot.

For this recipe, I used honey gold potatoes. But you can also use red potatoes, Russet potatoes, or Yukon gold potatoes. They will all taste great.

Add the diced celery to the pot.

Throw some baby carrots into the pot, as well as some diced onions.

You can also use sliced carrots. I use baby carrots because I can rinse them off and throw them in, and it makes life a little easier.

Sprinkle the onion soup mix on top.

Onion soup mix usually has a lot of salt in it, so if you want to add more, I would wait until you are done cooking the meal to taste it and see if you want to add any salt or pepper.

Pour the cream of chicken soup, mushroom soup, and chicken broth into the slow cooker.

If you’re not a fan of mushroom soup, you can switch it out for another can of chicken soup, celery soup, or cheddar cheese soup. Any of those will work great.

Give everything a stir and cover with the lid. Set the slow cooker on the low heat setting and the cooking time for eight hours.

After eight hours, shred the pork, and it’s ready to serve.

How Do You Know When It’s Done?

After cooking on low for eight hours, the pork will be done. It will be fork-tender and shred easily.
