Sprinkle pork gravy mix over raw pork roast, coupled with 2 ingredients, into slow cooker for a tender supper that I plan meals around
Variations & Tips
If your family prefers extra-saucy noodles, add up to 1 additional cup of chicken broth when you add the noodles so they have more liquid to soak up.
For a creamier version, stir in 1/2 to 3/4 cup of sour cream or a splash of heavy cream right at the end of cooking. You can also add a second packet of pork gravy mix for a stronger, more seasoned gravy—this is handy if you’re stretching the meal for a crowd.
For picky eaters, keep the seasoning simple and offer shredded cheese at the table so kids can sprinkle some over their bowls. If you’d like to sneak in veggies, stir in a bag of frozen peas and carrots or mixed vegetables during the last 10–15 minutes of cooking so they heat through without turning mushy.
This recipe also works with pork loin if you prefer a leaner cut, just be careful not to overcook it on HIGH; check for tenderness earlier. Leftovers reheat well with a splash of broth or water to loosen the noodles, and you can even tuck the pork and noodles into buttered rolls for easy next-day sandwiches.
