SWEET N SOUR PORK AND POTATOES

I came upon this recipe from Robin Miller from Food Network one morning and thought it looked quick and easy and good. Now I didn't have a pork roast but I did have 5 thick pork chops that was probably a roast before they were chops so I decided to give it a try. I just stood the pork chops up together and it turned out wonderful. The pork was very tender and it had kind of a tangy flavor. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and infused with the flavor as well.  Now we had plenty of leftovers so I shredded the rest of the pork and I am saving it for dinner tonight. I am adding some BBQ sauce and Monterrey Jack cheese and having pulled pork quesadillas. I can't wait I know they are going to be really good. I love leftovers especially when you can turn them into a totally different dinner. I'll probably have to break out the margaritas with this tonight and celebrate my staycation. My stay at home vacation starts today so I will have 2 weeks off to sit by my pool, sip margaritas, and try new recipes in my crock pot. I am thinking about trying some of those freezer crock pot recipes where they shop, cut up, and bag everything all in one day and have like 25 meals ready to go at any time. I think they could come in very handy especially for those days when you just don't feel like cooking or you have a last minute party at work. I have seen several different variations of these on Pinterest and Zite so its just about tweaking them to my family's likes and dislikes. Haven't seen any freezer recipes for desserts or breakfast yet. Maybe I will work on those this week. Let me know if you have any recipes for the freezer. I'd love to try them out and post them for others to enjoy.   

INGREDIENTS:

3-4 lb pork roast
½ cup of ketchup
2 tbs. Of red wine vinegar
2 tbs. of soy sauce
2 Tbs. of brown sugar
4 cloves of minced garlic
1 tsp. of Dijon mustard
4-5 butter yellow potatoes
1 medium onion

 DIRECTIONS:

Spray the crock pot with PAM. Wash the potatoes and then chop them into one inch cubes. If using the yellow butter potatoes the skin is so thin you won't have to peel them. Throw them in the bottom of the crock pot. Next slice the onion into half moons and put on top of the potatoes. Place the pork roast on top of the onions. Then rub the roast with the minced garlic. Mix together all the other ingredients and pour over the roast. Cover and cook on low for 8 -10 hours.
