I made this last night for my family and it was a big hit! It has always been tough for me to get pork tender without it going dry. This was easy and created a tasty result!

We had this for dinner a week ago when my MIL was staying at our house. Everyone absolutely loved it. My husband is already wanting me to make it again. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Threw this together for a last minute meal. Delicious. The gravy is what really makes this dish fantastic. Will try with veggies next time.Thank you for this recipe- Easy, fast, and company ready.

I’ve made this several times for my family and it is always a hit! I never have Cajun seasoning on hand, so I make my own: 2 tsp. thyme, 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, 1 tsp. granulated garlic, 1 tsp. granulated onion, 1 tsp. paprika, 1 tsp. light brown sugar, 3/4 tsp. fresh ground black pepper and 1/4 tsp. ground cayenne pepper. Also, I let the brown sugar and Cajun rub soak into the roast for 15 minutes before browning. I make gravy just like the first reviewer did, but I use 2 Tbl. of flour instead of cornstarch. This is such a great recipe!!

Loved by my entire family – even the picky kids! I love the slightly spicey + sweet combination. And the roast was incredibly moist. Leftovers were divine!

Wow- this was seriously amazing. Husband was worried about the brown sugar but I wanted LOTS of flavor so I doubled the cajun seasoning to 2 teaspoons and did 3 tablespoons of brown sugar. I then added the carrots and potatoes like Kristy suggested and even threw in some onions. Like someone else said, it did take a little longer to cook on higher temp (315 for an hour and then 350 for an extra 20 minutes) but OMG the flavor was amazing. I definately recommend adding some veggies and potatoes in with the roast because it is a SIN not to have something soak up that DELICIOUS juice!
