Well now, let me tell you ‘bout makin’ a pork roast in one of them fancy oven bags. It’s right simple, and you don’t need to be a cookin’ whiz to get it done right. I remember when I used to roast pork every Sunday, and let me tell you, folks always loved it! So, here’s how you can do it too.
What You Need:
- 1 (about 3 pounds) pork roast, any cut ya like
- 1 oven bag, the big size
- Some seasoning, whatever tickles your fancy
- A 13×9-inch baking pan
- Optional: veggies like carrots and potatoes if ya want to throw them in
First things first, you wanna preheat that oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s like givin’ your oven a little warm-up before the main event!
Now, take that oven bag and put it in your baking pan. Open it up nice and wide so it can hold all that juicy goodness. If you’re feelin’ fancy, you can toss in some chopped veggies at the bottom. They soak up all them flavors, you know.
Then, you take your pork roast and put it right in the bag. Just plop it in there. No fuss, no muss! After that, sprinkle your seasonin’ all over the roast. I like to mix up some herbs and spices, but you do what you like. Garlic powder, onion powder, maybe a bit of rosemary—whatever makes your heart sing!
Now, here comes a little trick I learned over the years: you can add a bit of liquid to the bag. Just a splash of broth or some apple juice will do. This helps keep everything nice and moist while it cooks. You seal up that bag good, makin’ sure to leave a little space for steam to escape. Just follow the instructions on the bag, it’ll guide ya right.
Once that’s all set, put the pan in the oven and let it work its magic! Depending on how big your roast is, you’re lookin’ at about 2 to 3 hours. A good rule of thumb is about 30 minutes per pound, but you can always use a meat thermometer to check if it’s done. You want it to be at least 145 degrees inside, so it’s safe to eat.
Now, while that pork is roastin’, the whole house will smell so good! You might wanna make a few biscuits or cornbread on the side. They go great with that juicy meat.
When the time is up, carefully take that pan outta the oven. It’s gonna be hot, so be careful, alright? Cut that bag open—watch out for the steam, it’ll be puffin’ right at ya! Then you can take the roast out and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices settle in, makin’ it even tastier when ya slice it.
If you like a bit of cracklin’ on top, you can pop that roast back in the oven for a few minutes after cuttin’ the bag. Just watch it so it don’t burn! Once it’s nice and golden, take it out and get ready to feast!
Slice that pork up nice and serve it with your favorite sides. You can make a gravy from the drippin’s in the bag, just mix it up in a pot, and there ya go! Ain’t nothin’ better than a good ole pork roast cooked in an oven bag. Everyone will be lickin’ their fingers and askin’ for seconds, trust me!
So there ya have it, folks. A simple way to make a delicious pork roast. Give it a try, and you might just find yourself makin’ it every Sunday, just like I used to. Happy cookin’!
