Crock Pot Balsamic Pork Roast
I love making pork in the slow cooker. I served this with Broccoli and Cheese Twice Baked Potatoes but this would also be great with Roasted Parmesan Green Beans.
Whenever I happen to see a small pork roast in the supermarket, I always pick one up because I know it’s an easy dinner. I usually find myself gravitating to the Slow Cooker Kalua Pork each and every time because it’s so good and easy to make, but I wanted to switch things up and came across a slow cooker recipe for this balsamic pork recipe on Add A Pinch.
I met Robin just a few months ago while I was in Oregon so I was happy to try one of her recipes. This was so easy to make, and although my husband generally isn’t much of a balsamic fan, my toddler and I thought it was great! This recipe is slightly modified from her original but for the most part I followed it pretty close.
And since so many are asking, I have the 6 Quart Hamilton Beach Set ‘n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker. I love it because you can adjust the time you want it to cook, and it automatically turns to warm when it’s done. It also has a probe for meat that automatically shuts off when done. I hated my old crock pot, it burnt everything and my food had a weird taste. This crock pot is so great, I actually own two!

Thank you for another 5 star recipe Gina! Made this last night in my instant pot after reading through older comments by others who’d done so. Seasoned and seared 2 lbs. of pork tenderloin, placed on the trivet and added big carrot, celery and onion chunks. Doubled the sauce. 45 minutes on pressure cook, then shredded it served it with/over individual baked potatoes. We absolutely loved it! Thank you!
How can you do this recipe without a “crock pot”?
Can u do this recipe with chicken or beef ?
Made this tonite with a one pound trimmed pork tenderloin. It cooked beautifully and we pulled it and made the gravy. I used pear basalmic as my vinegar. There was a slight tartness near the end of eating but I would make this recipe again in a heartbeat. Made Greek potatoes with it and my wife and I finished it all. Try it,you will love it!
