Bland and really greasy/fatty. What a waste...

Delicious! Moist tender pork with wonderful gravy that goes so well over mashed potatoes. It tastes like Thanksgiving with pork instead of turkey. I used a pork loin roast instead of the pork butt due to personal preferences. I left out the carrots and cooked them separately because I don't like them mushy. Only used a pinch of thyme because I find it an overwhelming spice, and added garlic powder , a bay leaf and more Worcestershire sauce than called for. I cut my roast in half and seasoned it with Emeril's Essence and pepper and browned it on all sides in a couple tablespoons of olive oil before putting it in the crock pot. I skipped the french fried onions, not needed. Everyone enjoyed it, even my 8 year old who doesn't like much meat...he was done in record time! Love that gravy and highly recommend making mashed potatoes with this. I will definitely make again. Thanks.
