This delicious pork tenderloin recipe could not get any easier–just five minutes of prep followed by a few hours in the slow cooker. Can be frozen ahead of time!
I don’t know about you but I think at this point I am fully addicted to simple, delicious freezer meals. Even my husband, who first balked at the idea of freezer cooking and insisted he wouldn’t like any of the meals, has whole-heartedly embraced this freezer friendly lifestyle. It has not only saved us a ton of time and stress, but a ton of money as well.
Now that fall is upon us and school is in full swing, I love serving down-home comfort-food type meals, especially those that can be thrown in the slow cooker for a completely effortless meal. This slow-cooked pork “tenderloin” is a great alternative to beef or chicken and comes together in just minutes. (It is technically a pork loin roast, which lends itself better to slow cooking!) It can also be frozen ahead as part of a freezer cooking day! The recipe below makes two roasts, so if you only want one be sure to cut the ingredients in half.

2 (2 pound) pork loin roasts 2 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix 2 cups chicken broth 2 cups red wine 1 large onion, chopped 6 cloves garlic, minced 3 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce freshly ground black pepper to taste

Oh my goodness! I made these this week and they were amazing! So flavorful but not overpowering. The meat was so tender, too. We eat a lot of pork and I have been looking for different ways to cook it. So glad I found this recipe!
