"This is perfect for those days when you are going to be out all day. Just pop it in the crock in the morning and it is ready when you get home at supper time. I don’t eat the potatoes as they are sitting in the drippings while cooking, however, my husband thinks this is the best part of the meal."

I made a couple of changes but the result was delicious. We don't care for dill so subbed ground sage and used a sirloin tip pork roast for just the two of us and did it in my smaller slow cooker. Everything turned out great, and a very nice Fall dinner, served with some roasted baby carrots. I am adding this one to the "to make in the RV" book.

Have to love an easy to make recipe that tastes this good! I made as posted and wouldn't change a thing. Loved the seasonings - I am particularly fond of fennel so that put it right over the top for me! Thanks Bea!

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! This is very well seasoned and tender! I used a piece of pork from the leg that I butchered down, it was only 1 1/2 lbs but used all the seasoning for this. And I am glad I did. Also used no salt chicken stock instead of the water. Then put it in a 250F oven for 3 hours in a covered roaster. Thickened the pan juices with a cornstarch slurry and added a wee bit of lemon pepper and chives. Then I took the potatoes and dried the tops and brushed them with a wee bit of olive oil and a dusting of pepper and broiled them. This so very yummy, I will be making this again when I can get a pork shoulder! Thank you Bea for another great recipe! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag. UPDATE 2/24/19 Made this awesome recipe several times with the pork shoulder. And it never fails to be deliciously wonderful.

This is so easy to prepare in the morning and enjoy for dinner. We loved the combination of spices, especially with the taste of fennel coming through. I used a boneless rib roast and it didn't take quite as long to cook - 6 hours. It sliced beautifully and was so tender! Thanks Bea for a great recipe
