Pot O'Gold Pork Roast

An old recipe from Campbell's Soups!

This is on the menu for today, and it's a Sunday dinner that I've made for years.  It's from an old Campbell's Souper One-dish Meal Handbook.    There's no date on it, but there is an advertisement for a hard-cover 100 Best Recipes Cookbook for only $1.95...I'm thinking we're going back a few years.  I feel like I've been making this forever!  Ha!

I've even used it on skillet pork chops or in the crock pot.  It's a great meal to take to a friend in need as well as a special Sunday supper.  And I've never really changed the recipe, except for the type of pork, or roasting it in the oven.

I do like using condensed soups to add flavor to so many dishes, and it's even better now that they have healthier choice ones with lower sodium. 

POT OF GOLD PORK ROAST

1 (3 to 4-pound) pork loin rib roast (I love it with pork tenderloin)

1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon paprika
1 medium bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper

4 medium potatoes, cut in half

In large heavy pan, brown meat in shortening; pour off fat.
