When do you think you use your slow cooker more? Spring/Summer to keep the house from heating up or Fall/Winter to prepare those full comfort food meals? I must admit, I do use my slow cooker a lot in the summer months, but the fall/winter months definitely see more slow cooking time.
Just knowing I can get everything together and in the slow cooker before 11 am. and have dinner pretty much ready to go is a real time saver for our busy family. This past week alone I have used my slow cooker for 3 meals. 2 Dinner dishes and 1 dessert. Our “go to” slow cooker meals are usually Chili,Pot Roast and BBQ Pulled Pork they are family favorites.
This weekend I wanted something a little different for the family dinner. I stumbled across this recipe from Six Sisters Stuff and adapted it to better fit our tastes. It was perfect! Mouth watering, juicy and just packed with flavor. This incredible Parmesan & Honey Pork Roast will definitely be making a regular appearance at our house in the cooler months to come.
Parmesan & Honey Pork Roast
Ingredients:
- 1 (3 -4) pound pork roast
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (splurge and get the good stuff)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp dried basil
- 2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/ tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup cold water
Directions:
Place your pork roast in the slow cooker. In a small bowl combine the Parmesan cheese, honey, water, soy sauce, basil, garlic, olive oil, salt & pepper. Pour over your pork roast. Cover and cook on low heat for 6 – 7 hours.
Remove your roast to your serving platter and tent (cover loosely) with foil
Skim the fat off the top of the remaining liquid in the slow cooker. Pour the juices into a small saucepan. Mix corn starch and water in a separate cup. Bring the juices from the roast to a low boil. Slowly pour in cornstarch mixture, bring back to a boil. Continue to boil for 1 – 2 minutes until the gravy is thickened. This will happen fast, don’t stop stirring and keep an eye on it.
Slice your pork roast and top with the delicious hot gravy.
Serve with egg noodles or mashed potatoes for a complete hearty meal.

Oh my goodness that looks so yummy. I have to try this my hubby loves pork! Thanks for the inspiration! Great pic wow.
I hope you do give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised with the result.
I want to eat at your house judging by the photo! I was going to say BBQ pulled pork in my head and then you wrote it too for some of your crockpot/slow cooker meals. I sometimes keep those packaged soup mixes for crock pots in stock for hearty soup for dinner too which is better than canned soup.
This looks really great! I know hubby would enjoy this. I usually use my slow cooker at least once week. Love the colder months when you can just throw everything in there! Thanks for linking with us at Home Matters Linky party!
This looks delicious! I wouldn’t have thought to combine parmesan and honey, but it sounds like something we would love. Adding to my meal plan for next week!
Hi Savanah! Thanks for stopping by. I was skeptical at first also, it was a very pleasant surprise. Let me know what ya think if you give it a try.
