Cindy’s Country Style Creole Pork Roast

Ingredients

• 1 onion, cut into chunks
• 1/2 green bell pepper
• 2 stalks celery stalk, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning, divided
• 5 pounds boneless pork roast
• 1/3 cup bacon grease

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine the onion, green pepper, celery and garlic in the container of a food processor or blender. Process until finely chopped. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the Creole seasoning.

Cut about 8 slits across the roast about 1/2 inch deep. Pack the vegetable mixture into the slits. Rub the remaining tablespoon of Creole seasoning all over the roast. Coat the roast generously with bacon grease, and place in a roasting pan.

Bake uncovered for 1 hour, until browned, then cover, and continue cooking for about 3 more hours, or until tender. After the roast is done, you can skim off some of the excess fat and thicken the drippings with a mixture of water and flour if you want your gravy thicker.
