This is the perfect easy recipe when you need a fix-it and forget-it meal and didn't get something out of the freezer ahead of time. Wait, I better clarify that - it's perfect if you like pork and cranberries, otherwise, never mind and stop reading. See ya tomorrow. Hahahahah! Otherwise, here's a great recipe that I hope you'll like!
- 2.5 lb. frozen pork roast (I buy a 4 pack at Costco - you can adjust the size to suit your needs)
- 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
- 3/4 cup Russian dressing
- 1/4 cup orange juice or water
- 1 packet dried onion soup mix
Place the roast in a 5 quart crock pot (or whatever size fits your roast); top with remaining ingredients (you can stir them together before adding to the crockpot but I'd save the extra dish to wash, they'll mix together as it cooks). Cook on LOW for 8 hours.
Great with mashed potatoes, mashed cauliflower, rice, or on it's own.
notes: you can also do this with pork tenderloin; pork chops are also great but won't need to cook as long. If you don't have Russian dressing, apricot preserves also works and is equally delish. The sauce is so good I eat it with a spoon but it isn''t thick - if you want it thicker/more gravy like just make a slurry* of cornstarch and water and whisk into the sauce until it thickens.
*a slurry is just mixing a little cornstarch with some water, for this amount of liquid I'd probably do maybe 2 or 3 T. cornstarch and enough water to make it pourable.
