Pork Roast With Veggies (Crock-Pot) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lbs boneless pork roast
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 acorn squash
2 sweet potatoes, peeled
1/2 cup apple butter
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup low fat, low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

Preparation

Heat oil in a heavy skillet and cook pork roast until browned on all sides, turning occasionally. This should take about 10 minutes.
While that's cooking, cut the acorn squash into 8 wedges and remove seeds. Do not peel. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into chunks. Place squash and sweet potatoes in 6-7 quart slow cooker. Top with browned pork roast.
In a small bowl, mix together apple butter, horseradish, cornstarch, allspice, pepper, chicken broth, and thyme. Pour into slow cooker.
Cover crockpot and cook on low for 7-9 hours until pork and vegetables are tender.
