This is one of those non-photogenic dishes that REALLY tastes so much better than it looks. Another selling point is it is cooked in your slow cooker. After enjoying a wonderful meal, I often wonder why I do not use my slow cooker more often.
This was a rather large tenderloin I was able to get on sale. Trim the pork loin of most of the fat and all of the silver skin.
Liberally season with pork seasoning on both sides.
Sear the pork loin in a large skillet preheated over medium high heat using 1/3 cup canola oil. Approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side.
While the pork is searing pour one can of cream of mushroom soup into your slow cooker, along with two cans of chicken broth. Add one envelope of ranch salad dressing mix (dry) and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes and 2 cloves of minced garlic.
Place the seared pork into the slow cooker, cover and set to 4 - 6 hours or cook on high for 2 hours and low for 4 hours.
After 6 hours, remove pork loin from slow cooker and allow to rest. While the loin is resting, ladle the gravy into a sauce pan and thicken with flour or cornstarch and season to taste. I thickened our gravy with a little flour and seasoned with salt, pepper and Herbs de Provence.
Creamy Parmesan risotto and steamed mixed vegetables made this an excellent meal!

Thank you, maam! Looks wonderful and I've been all about the crock pot lately! Saves so much time in the kitchen on these busy days.
I just love slow cooker recipes, I am always looking for new ones. This sounds really delicious.
Great recipe. I can always use a good crockpot recipe. They are so nice to use this time of year. I will try this in the near future!
Perfect for weekdays! I need to pull out the crockpot!
I made a tenderloin last week with an Asian marinade, and it was ok. The hubby really didn't care for it, but this he would! Except, it may be next week before I get to it, since the weather is going to be beautiful this weekend, we are firing up the grill!!
Oh my does that look DELISH!! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Sounds like the pork comes out really tender and flavorful. A great recipe!
I am always happy when I see a great crock pot recipe, and this looks like one! My entire family will love this (which doesn't happen often!)
Yummmmmmmmm!!
Looks good. The least photogenic meals are often the best, because in my experience, tender equals falling apart and not pretty.
Besides, we're all friends here, so are we really going to fuss over the photos?
Oh, this looks perfect for this cold rainy day.
That looks scrumptious only pork gives me a migraine. Would you cook a beef one for me? I'll bring the wine.
I wasn't invited, LOL! That looks deicious, I was just thinking of something homey to make my hubby this weekend, found it!
Ben threw my slow cooker away. Dang it.

OH Katherine, thanks so much for this-it sounds delish! I always have at least two of these loins in my freezer, and I love to use the slow cooker to fix them, so a new recipe that includes both is perfect for me!
I love using my slow cooker, it is just so great to toss in a few things and in just a few hours to have one of the best meals ever. I think your pictures looks succulent.
What a delicious meal all around! I am really loving the sound of that Parmesan risotto! YUM!!!

Sigh, what did we do before slow cookers!?! They are so great for doing up meat dishes. Your pork tenderloin sounds delish!
Hi Katherine! That is what I cooked last night, but in my crockpot with homemade cherry jam on top! Delicious! Great blog!
I love this meal! So easy and fuss free, but most important-delicious~
It seems like yummy comforting food is really hard to photograph. I am cold and hungry right now and this sounds fabulous!
Ohhh and the leftovers (if there are any) are going to taste even better.
slow cooked food never looks as good as it tastes. We've been using the crockpot quite a bit lately with my new work schedule. I'm going to work this recipe into the rotation. :-)
Katherine, I haven't used my crock pot in a while either. This looks wonderful. Crockpot cooking does make our lives easier. Have a fabulous Springtime weekend!!
