Preparation

Step 1

Finely chop vegetables. In a large skillet, saute vegetables in butter until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in seasonings and pepper sauce.

Cut roast in half. Cut several slits in roast to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Place in a 4-qt. slow cooker. Spoon onion mixture between slits and over the top of meat. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until pork is tender.

Transfer roast to a serving platter; keep warm. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Pour cooking juices into a small saucepan. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with roast.
Yield: 12 servings (2-1/4 cups sauce).
