Need a delicious pork appetizer? Give cream cheese sausage balls with bacon a try. How To Make Pork Shoulder With GravyStart by adding the cream of chicken soup to a medium-sized bowl. Next, add the cream of mushroom soup to the bowl. Now, add the onion soup/dip mix to the bowl. The onion soup mix is packed full of flavor and will taste amazing. Add the salt and pepper to the mix. This looks like a ton of salt, but it’s not. It’s just an up close picture. Salt and pepper are optional as the onion soup mix is already somewhat salty. Pour the water into the ingredients and mix well. Grease the Crock Pot with non-stick spray and add the pork shoulder. Pour the gravy mixture over the top. When the pork cooks, it will release a lot of liquid and sometimes it comes out thick, but if not you can add some flour after the cooking process, which is what I do in the pictures below. Once you’re done cooking the pork, after about eight hours, remove the meat from the Crock Pot and place it into a large bowl. Remove the bones from the slow cooker, and the bones from the bowl of pork. You can see in the picture above that there’s quite a bit of liquid. If it’s not thick, you can add flour, as shown below. How do I know when my pork is done?There are a couple of ways to check if the pork is done. First, you can use a thermometer and if your pork is at or above the 145-degree mark, your food is done. Just be sure not to allow the thermometer to touch the bone or you will get an incorrect reading. Once the temp reaches 145-allow the meat to rest for several minutes before eating. (If you want fall-off the bone meat, you might need to cook it a little longer). When the meat falls apart, it’s done. You will notice after at least eight hours of cooking on low heat that the pork will most likely be falling apart when you lift it with a fork. If it’s not, you can cook it longer until it does fall apart. Remove all of the bones. While cooking, the bones help give the dish a lot of flavor, plus there is collagen in the bones and that is so healthy for you. While the pork is in the bowl and you’ve removed the bones, add some flour to the liquid, which will help it thicken. Whisk the flour and return the pork to the slow cooker for at least 45-minutes to one hour. This will give the gravy time to thicken and cook more. Once you’ve cooked the meat, remove it and serve over mashed potatoes, or add to a bun for dinner. Spoon the gravy over the top and you have a great meal. Other sides that go well with pork shoulder:

How long should you cook pork in a slow cooker?Cover and cook on high for 6-7 hours or low for 9-10 or until meat pulls apart easily with a fork. Remove from crockpot and shred meat.

How long do you slow cook a 4 pound pork roast?I use a small 3-4 pound boneless pork roast for this recipe and I like to cook it in a slow cooker on LOW for 10-12 hours. You can cook it on HIGH for 6-8 hours, but I think the texture and flavor is better when you cook it on low.
How long do you slow cook a pork roast per pound?On LOW you should cook the roast for 2 hours per pound and on HIGH 1 hour per pound + 1 hour. Just make sure your roast has an internal temperature of 145 degrees F tested with a meat thermometer.
What temp do you slow cook a pork roast in the oven?Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. If necessary, trim fat from top of pork, leaving a 1/8-inch thick layer of fat. Spread Roasted Garlic Rub all over pork and inside any cavities, concentrating on boned side. Put pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan and roast in middle of oven 6 to 8 hours.
