🛒 What You’ll Need
🐷 1½–2 pounds pork tenderloin
🧅 1 small onion, sliced
🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
🥣 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
🍗 1 cup chicken broth
🥄 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
🌿 1 teaspoon dried thyme
🧂 1 teaspoon salt
🌶️ ½ teaspoon black pepper
🫒 1 tablespoon olive oil
👩🍳 How to Make It
1️⃣ Season the pork.
Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season all over with salt, pepper, and thyme.
2️⃣ Give it a quick sear.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork for about 2 minutes per side, just until nicely browned.
This step isn't required, but it adds wonderful flavor. 😋
3️⃣ Build the slow cooker.
Place the sliced onion and garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the seared pork tenderloin on top.
4️⃣ Make the sauce.
Whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture over the pork.
5️⃣ Cook low and slow.
Cover and cook on LOW for about 3–4 hours, depending on the size of the tenderloin.
Pork tenderloin is lean, so avoid cooking it for the extremely long times sometimes used for pork shoulder.
6️⃣ Check the temperature.
The pork should reach 145°F in the thickest part. Let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
7️⃣ Serve it up!
Slice the pork and spoon that creamy savory sauce over the top.
Serve with mashed potatoes, green beans, roasted vegetables, or warm dinner rolls. 🥔🥖
✨ Want to Make It Your Own?
🍎 Add sliced apples for a sweet-and-savory combination.
🥔 Add baby potatoes around the pork for an easy one-pot meal.
🍄 Stir in sliced mushrooms.
🌿 Add rosemary or fresh thyme for extra flavor.
🍯 A small spoonful of honey can add a lovely touch of sweetness.
💡 A Little Tip
Don't confuse pork tenderloin with pork loin. They're different cuts, and tenderloin is much smaller and leaner, so it cooks considerably faster.
A meat thermometer is your best friend here. Once the pork reaches 145°F, take it out and let it rest—you'll get much juicier slices. ❤️
