Roxy15 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I made this for Easter dinner and it was really good! The picture could be better. I didn’t get the carrots and mushrooms in the picture, but, they were good! Pictures Of Dinner & Garlic/Crockpot Today This morning, I put it all in the crockpot, along with the beef broth that I didn’t use yesterday, so it would stay moist. Easter Pork Shoulder: ***The Pork Shoulder Was 9-lbs. Chop up some onions and garlic, to taste; add to roasting pan. Add a bag of baby carrots/1 carton sliced fresh mushrooms; add to roasting pan. Pour 1-1/2-(32-oz.)-cartons Kitchen Basics Unsalted Beef Stock over vegetables. ***I saved the rest of the beef stock in the refrigerator. Lightly flour both sides of the pork shoulder. Add 4 T. Olive Oil in skillet; heat skillet. Add pork shoulder and lightly brown on both sides. Put rack in roasting pan and put pork shoulder on top of rack; FAT SIDE DOWN! Sprinkle some garlic salt and pepper over the pork shoulder. Put some onions and garlic on top of pork shoulder. Use 2 Pkg.s Lipton Onion Mushroom Soup Mix/rub over both sides of pork shoulder/use 1 Envelope per side! Bake in preheated 450 degree oven for 20 minutes; turn the heat down to 250 degrees. Bake for 7 hours, it WON’T hurt it, if it bakes longer! I will boil some potatoes for mashed potatoes on top of the stove instead of adding them to the roaster so they won’t turn brown! Gravy: I use this recipe every time when making beef or pork gravy, it always turns out great. When making beef gravy, Use McCormick Beef Gravy Mix. To Make Gravy: 1/2 Cup Blue Bonnet Margarine 1/2 Cup All Purpose Flour 2 Cans Campbell’s Beef Broth ***This Saves Me From Degreasing Broth! A Few Drops Of Kitchen Bouquet Add Some Whipping Cream If You Think It Needs Some! 2 Packages McCormick Pork Gravy Mix Salt & Pepper, To Taste Cut margarine into slices. In a large pan, melt margarine over low to medium heat. Slowly add in flour, constantly whisking to combine. After a few minutes, the flour will be incorporated into the butter. Pour in beef broth; stir. Add 2 packages McCormick Pork Gravy Mix, Whipping Cream, if needed and a dab of bouquet; salt and pepper, to taste; stir. I didn’t use milk for the mashed potatoes, I used Whipping Cream..it makes the potatoes better! I was planning on adding cream cheese to the potatoes, but, I forgot...they were still good! I added garlic! In the morning, I cooked garlic in the crockpot. This is my favorite way to make it! Crockpot Garlic: ***Use How Much Garlic You Want. Using a sharp knife, cut both ends off the full bunch of garlic. Using a paring knife, cut the garlic-(on the lines)-to make into cloves; peel. Put the garlic cloves on a piece of aluminum foil. When you have your desired amount of garlic cloves on the aluminum foil, squeeze some Olive Oil over the garlic cloves; sprinkle some Kosher Salt and some McCormick Coarse Ground Pepper on the garlic cloves. ***I Use Ketchup/Mustard Bottles & I Fill Them With Different Oils/Sauces/Etc. & Label Them So I Know What’s In Them! It makes it easier! Make a tent over the garlic cloves. Put in the crockpot and cook on low for 4-5 hours until tender. 1 Quote Link to comment
