Notes: This slow cooker pork roast recipe couldn't be simpler and you can change it around as you wish. You could for example, include green beans along with the other vegetables or use different herbs. A splash of wine would be a fine addition as well. A good tip from duonyte, if you twist the knife blade slightly as it is piercing the meat and slide the garlic sliver down the blade and into the meat. The garlic permeated the meat. I thank her for this.

Don't worry about the mustard flavor being too strong. Mustard loses its bite when it is cooked, so all you get here is great flavor.
