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.
