A pork pot roast sandwich is the ultimate grab-and-go meal. Warm, tender pot roast flavored with carrots, onions, celery, and seasonings, nestled between two soft buns.

Are looking for the perfect handheld comfort food? Imagine a slow-cooked pork pot roast that’s been simmering in a savory broth for hours combined with carrots, celery, and onions.

When seasoned with thyme and garlic it makes for the ultimate sandwich meat. Kim and I originally published this recipe in February of 2016.

However, we felt it was time for a make-over. If BBQ is more your thing, then checkout our BBQ pulled pork shoulder or our slow cooker shredded BBQ beef.

The first post utilized a beef pot roast, but this time we wanted to show the recipe would work with a pork roast as well. The meat turned out flavorful and juicy.

We know you can’t wait to make this one yourself.

Instructions:

First, preheat your crockpot or slow-cooker and gather all your ingredients while you wait.

Next, drizzle the olive oil into the cooker and then add the pork pot roast, salt, pepper, and thyme

After letting the pork pot roast cook for a few minutes, put in the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Don’t add the beef broth yet, let everything for a minute or two.

Then slowly pour the broth into the cooker. Once the broth is added, put the lid on the slow cooker and walk away.

Now, cook on high for about 5-6 hours, low for 7-8 hours, or until meat breaks apart with a fork.

Separate the Broth from Your Pork Pot Roast:

Once the roast is completely cooked, I separate it from the liquid.

Next, the liquid is strained placed it into a stock pot. This is optional, but it is a good idea to reserve some liquid for reheating the roast.

Warming the roast in a couple spoonfuls of liquid will keep it from drying out. Also, it makes a great dip for the sandwich!

Build Your Sandwich:

Now that the roast and liquid are separated you can build your sandwich.

Simply cut open your hoagie and place the meat inside.

Tips:

• Once you’ve strained the broth, cook it down in a saucepan over high heat for 5-minutes to create a flavorful dipping sauce.
• Although we haven’t tried it, you could substitute the roast for 2-lbs. of chicken breast and substitute chicken stock for the beef stock to make a low-fat option.
• To keep the pork pot roast from drying out in your fridge, pour enough of the broth in the container to cover the roast in about a 1/2-inch of liquid.
