This was flavorful and delicious! My finicky son even asked for seconds! My only change to the recipe was instead of beef bullion I used knorr beef stock concentrate. I did as others advised and added another 2 TBSP of syrup to the sauce. I cooked on low for 10 hours using a 3.5 lb pork bone-in butt roast. I added all ingredients to the crock pot the night before - I had it in the fridge and started it the next morning before work. I will make this again!

Loved this. Will certainly be making again. Might add a little more maple as I doubled the liquids (bigger slow cooker) the carrots picked up a lot of the maple flavor but I would have liked some in the meat. It's good though! Awesome and easy!

I didn't have sage leaves so I used 1 tsp of rubbed sage seasoning plus about a tsp of Thyme and 1/2 tsp of Poultry seasoning. I didn't use the squash either as my partner and I aren't big fans. Nonetheless it was delicious and so easy to make. We couldn't believe how flavorful the roast was especially when you consider how easy it was to make. My only complaint is that I didn't make mash potatoes with it. The juices make a great gravy. Definitely a recipe I'll be making again and again.
