Ingredients

• 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
• 2 tablespoons butter, or to taste
• 1 (3 pound) pork sirloin roast

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Rub soup mix all over pork roast. Place roast in a slow cooker and pour cranberry sauce over top. Cover and cook on Low until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 8 to 10 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer roast to a platter, reserving juices in the slow cooker.

Step 2

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Whisk in flour to form a paste. Pour in reserved juices from the slow cooker; cook, whisking constantly, until gravy lightens in color and thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve alongside roast.
