Crock Pot Seed Crusted Pork Roast – The Aroma Will Make You Swoon!
A great thing about cooking seed-crusted crock pot roasts is the smell. When you enter the house, you feel so hungry and wish the meat would be on your plate already. But you’ll have to wait a bit more to earn the right to eat this delicious pork roast.
This savory blend of aniseed, fennel, caraway, dill seed, and celery seeds creates a crust-like coating for a pork roast prepared in the slow cooker.
OK, let’s start our recipe:
