Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin

DrGaellon's Note:

Adapted from a recipe at allrecipes.com. This pork tenderloin soaks up the yummy juices as it cooks. Make sure to serve up the gravy on the side.

• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 4 hrs

• 2 lbs pork tenderloins
• 1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
• 1 cup water
• ¾ cup red wine
• 3 tablespoons minced garlic
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Place pork tenderloin in a slow cooker with the contents of the soup packet. Pour water, wine, and soy sauce over the top, turning the pork to coat.

So tasty and healthy, too! As I usually do when slow cooking pork, to get a richer color I brown the meat in grapeseed oil first but will try skipping that step next time. I think with the sauce, the color would have been fine. Instead of adding individually, I combined soup mix with water, wine and less-sodium soy sauce and poured mixture over pork then added garlic on top and sprinkled with pepper. Threw in some fingerling potatoes the last hour. Excellent!

This was delicious!! My oldest who is usually very picky loved it and my husband who usually doesn't like gravy or any sauces on his potatoes used the extra juice for his potatoes. Will definitely make this again. I didn't have red wine so I used a blackberry wine instead and cooked for 6 hours in my slow cooker. Other then that I followed the recipe to a T. Thanks for the delicious recipe!! :)

Don't waste your time (or tenderloin). This was really bad. I threw most of this away.
