Note:
For a more flavorful roast, try searing the pork in a hot skillet for a few minutes on each side before adding it to the slow cooker. This will give the roast a beautiful crust and enhance the flavors 🍖🔥. You can also adjust the seasonings to suit your taste—add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat or some rosemary for a fragrant twist 🌿.
