Instructions

1
Season the pork roast generously on all sides with Cajun seasoning.
2
Optionally, sear the pork roast in a hot skillet on all sides until browned.
3
In the basin of a slow cooker, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, and an additional pinch of Cajun seasoning.
4
Place the seared pork roast into the sauce in the slow cooker.
5
Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 5-6 hours, until the pork is fall-apart tender.
6
Carefully remove the cooked pork from the slow cooker and set it aside on a plate or in a bowl.
7
Add the cubed cream cheese to the hot liquid in the slow cooker. Let it sit for a few minutes to soften.
8
Whisk the sauce until the cream cheese is fully melted and the gravy is smooth.
9
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
10
Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the gravy to thicken it.
11
Using two forks, shred the cooked pork.
12
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir to coat it in the creamy gravy.
13
Serve hot over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pat the pork roast dry and sear it briefly in a hot pan before slow cooking to develop a flavorful crust and improve browning.
Add the cream cheese at the very end of cooking in chunks—it melts smoothly into the hot gravy without breaking or becoming grainy.
Use the cornstarch slurry only if needed; the cream of chicken soup and cream cheese already provide body to the gravy.
Season generously with Cajun seasoning before cooking; slow cooking mutes spice flavors, so don't hold back.

Substitutions

Cream of chicken soup → cream of mushroom soup (lighter mushroom flavor, still creamy)
Cream cheese → heavy cream or sour cream (8 oz total; slightly less rich but still smooth)
Cajun seasoning → Italian seasoning or poultry seasoning (milder, less spicy profile)

Storage & make-ahead

Cool fully, transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding chicken broth if the gravy has thickened too much.

Common Questions

How do you know when the pork roast is done?

The meat should shred easily with a fork and reach an internal temperature of 190°F for maximum tenderness. Slow cooking typically takes 6-8 hours on low.

Can you make this pork roast ahead?

Yes, cook the roast and gravy fully, cool completely, and refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat gently on low heat with a splash of broth to restore creaminess.
