Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 (2 to 5 pound) pork loin roast
  • 1 envelope onion soup mix, or homemade equivalent (below)
  • 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme, crushed
  • 2 cans classic cola style soft drink
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and enough water to make a slurry for thickening

Instruction

  • Add roast to slow cooker, sprinkle with onion soup mix and thyme; pour cola all around.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for about 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size. For accuracy, use an instant read thermometer. Roast should be between 140-145 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the center roast.
  • Remove, and let stand before slicing.
  • While roast is resting, switch pot to sauté/browning function or carefully transfer the hot pan drippings to a skillet. Make a slurry by combing 1/4 cup of flour with just enough water to dissolve it. Mix the slurry completely so that there are no lumps.
  • Bring pan drippings to a boil and whisk in slurry. Return to boil, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, whisking regularly.
  • Slice meat and place on a platter; drizzle gravy on top of the meat and put the remaining gravy in a gravy boat for the table.
