I recently retired and have taken over the cooking as my wife is still working. My past cooking has largely been to grill. Having taken over the cooling chores, this was the first slow cooker recipe that I tried and it came out great. The only thing that I would do the next time is to add more tomato sauce. With a 2.5 pork roast, there was not enough sauce remaining for left overs. Thanks to CookinKaty for suggesting to add more chili powder etc. to coat the meat. Most of all, thanks Betty

Very good dish, and made the house smell amazing! I agree with CookinKaty that there wasn't enough spice after tossing the potatoes, so I made another batch of the spice for the roast. Depending on the size of your potatoes, you might not need as many as the recipe calls for. I couldn't fit them all in the crock pot, so I just took enough potatoes out to fit it the roast.

Wow! What a recipe! Amazing flavor, not too spicy. I left mine in the slow cooker for about 8 1/2 hours and the meat just fell apart. I thought that it would taste too "tomato-y" because of all of the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes but it was perfect. After tossing the potatoes and onions in the spice mixture there wasnt enough spices left to coat the Roast itself so I added 1 tbs chili powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp cumin to the large bowl after putting the veggies in the slow cooker and then rolled the roast in it and it was perfect! Definitely will make again!
