Crock Pot Mustard Pepper Pork Roast

One of my favorite ways to cook is using my crock pot. The crock pot is an excellent way to slow cook your food for more intensive flavors, tender meat and easy healthy meals. Set your slow cooker up in the morning and let it cook. You’ll find a wonderful meal all ready when you get home from work!

This pork roast recipe is so simple and it uses ingredients you already have on hand. To keep this recipe gluten free, be sure to read all product labels to ensure your dinner is actually gluten free.
