We loved this recipe. Like everyone else I made a few small changes. I prepared the roast early a.m., covered and refrigerated to let it absorb the spices. I omitted the 1/3 c bacon grease, as the roast had a layer of pork fat on it. The meat was moist and there was lots of gravy. Definitely a keeper.

I did not follow your recipe, but used it as a guide and it turned out great! I'll share what I did with my limited ingredients and will try your recipe to see how it differs. I was looking for a crockpot recipe for a pork sirloin tip roast. I cut up 1 onion into chunks and put them in crockpot, along with 2 slices of raw applewood bacon (what I had), about 1.5 tablespoons of cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoonful chopped garlic, some Tastefully Simple Bell Pepper dip mix (I didn't have any peppers), a little water and the roast. I cooked it on low for an hour and then switched it to high for the next 3-4 hours until we were ready to eat. It was very good but did seem a little drier than I'd like (maybe it was the high setting), but dousing the meat in the juices was great. I think next time, I'll thicken up the juices to use as a gravy, but the flavor was amazing! Nice to do something different and I'll definitely do this again! Nice job!!

This is the BEST roast recipe I've ever had!! I want to make this every day!!! I didn't have any celery so I just left it out. I used a creole seasoning recipe from this site and instead of pork, I used a bread and butter roast. It was sooooo good!

This recipe is AWESOME!!!! I have made it many times the whole family loves it. I had an abundance of pork loin roasts that I bought on sale. They averaged 10lbs each so I wolud cut off about a 4lb piece for roast and the rest was cut for pork chops. The only thing I did different was instead of bacon grease witch I don't keep around the house I put 2 pieces of thick bacon on top of the roast and 2 more in the pan during the last hour of cooking to get the flavor. I use all the drippings, put them in a pot and make some awesome gravy with them. Serve it with Mashed potatos, and greens or corn. Great meal. I'm making it this weekend with a pork shoulder roast, I bet it will be just as good!!!! Thanks for a great recipe.

We had this tonight, and it was fantastic. It was a bit cold because I had to let it sit out, so we didn't eat as much as we should have, but it had a really good flavor, and it was so easy! I will certainly be making this again.

Very good! I made as written. It was a tad salty for my taste so that's why I gave it 4 stars. I'm not sure if it was the bacon grease or the amount of creole seasoning that added the saltiness. Very flavorful. I think 4 hours would have been way too long to cook. I took it out at 3 hours and 15 minutes and it was already 190 degrees. Will make again.

Delicious! I used a whole seeded red bell pepper instead of 1/2 a green pepper. By accident, I added the entire 2 tablespoons of creole seasoning into the puree. It tasted fine and it eliminates an uneccessary step. I used a 4lb. pork loin instead of a roast. This is so good as a leftover for tacos or in chili.

This was very good. I made as directed except I didn't use the bacon grease...I didn't have any on hand and I also don't wish to clog my arteries any sooner than necessary. It's pretty spicy and the flavor from the spices is enough to give it great taste even without the bacon grease. Thanks for the great recipe

This is such an easy and great tasting recipe. Didn't have bacon fat so I drizzled a little olive oil over the top to help with the first hour's browning. Didn't hurt anything, but not sure if it helped either. It was surprising how tasty the roast turned out. Thank you.
