Being the wife of a talented hunter husband, I’m often cooking wild game here on the homestead. I like to make pulled pork BBQ and I often do.
And sometimes I’m using the Cook-Once, Eat Twice method of cooking so I’ll cook my slow cooker pork roast with more mainstream seasonings so I can use the leftovers in dishes such as Carnitas Tacos, Pulled-Pork Enchiladas and more. But sometimes I like to make pork roast for a more formal meal.


My *slow cooker is my friend! My recipe is easy, and included below. I simply place pork roast in a slow cooker with about 2 cups of chopped or sliced onions (I like the red ones). Then I pour about 2/3 cup red wine and 3 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce over the top, then turn the roast a couple of times to fully coat the meat. And I crush about 3-4 garlic cloves over the pork and sprinkle everything pretty liberally with cracked pepper.

Keeping the house cool is a big consideration here too. In the summer I’ll place my crockpot on a table on the back porch. Thanks for the invite. ~TxH~
Very interesting! I’m sure my dad would love this recipe. Even though he is not a hunter anymore, he still gets his supply of game meat when is the right season. Thank you so much for sharing at the Fluster Buster party! Have a fantastic week. P.S…Slow Cookers are Our BFF for real! lol Lizy party co host
Lizy, the recipe will work with any pork roast, but it’s especially good (in my opinion) with wild pork. And yes you’re right, slow cookers really ARE our BFF! LOL ~TxH~
I’m so happy I found this on Thriving Thursdays! My husband brings home wild hog, deer, dove, turkeys etc. (even bullfrog) so I am always cooking wild game. The hog is the most challenging though, so I am going to try this recipe next time.
Steph, we love wild pork served this way. We have success with sows of any size & the younger boars, but boars over about 100 lbs tend to get gamey so we shy away from them. Give it a try – it’s delicious! ~TxH~
I use the snow cooker for my roasts too so tender! This sound great, I haven’t done pork before I will have to try
Me too Mel, and with the lean meat of wild pork the slow cooker keeps it moist & tender. ~TxH~
This sounds delicious! My husband is a hunter too so I cook a lot of wild game as well!
I love using my slow cooker as much as I can. And how fortunate you have a hunter husband to bring roasts home for you. Thank you for linking to the In and Out of the Kitchen Link Party. I look forward to seeing you next week.
This looks like a really great recipe! I will try this! Thanks for linking to TTF~
This is terrific! I’d love to find more recipes for wild game! I will be featuring your post in this week’s Home and Garden Thursday,
Kathy
Oh that’s fantastic Kathy – THANKS! ~TxH~
