Pork Roast Set 'n' Forget

Here's what is cooking up in my slow cooker today:

Slow Cookin' Easy Livin' Pork Roast (yeah, I just made up the name right now)

4-5 lb boneless pork roast
Sprinkle liberally with VE Beef & Steak Rub
Dried Rosemary
Dried Sage

Wrap in plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.

In the morning:

Unwrap the pork roast and sear it all side in a frying pan drizzled with olive oil (med-high heat). Once nice and golden, place it in your slow cooker.

Add:
1 large onion chopped
2 celery ribs sliced
1 large carrot sliced
1 large tomato quartered
2 whole cloves of garlic
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
2 cups water
2 tsp VE Beef Bouillon
1-2 dried bay leaves
1/4 cup your favourite BBQ sauce

Pour it all on top of the pork roast...then Set 'n' Forget. Cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 6-8.
If you are around for the last hour, take the roast out and add:

2 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water

Turn the slow cooler ot high to thicken. Alternatively, pour the juices into a saucepan, add the water and cornstarch and boil to thicken.

It smells so good in here right now...
