Ingredients
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds whole pork tenderloin, trimmed
- 8 ounces sliced brown mushrooms (cremini or baby bella)
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 packet (1 ounce) dry onion soup mix
Instructions
1. Prepare the Pork
Place the whole pork tenderloin into the bottom of your slow cooker. Lay it lengthwise so it fits snugly. If needed, gently curve it into a C-shape while keeping it whole for the best texture and presentation.
2. Add the Mushrooms
Scatter the sliced mushrooms evenly over and around the pork tenderloin, covering the top and sides.
3. Make the Creamy Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup, heavy cream, and dry onion soup mix until smooth and fully combined.
4. Pour Over the Pork
Pour the creamy mushroom sauce evenly over the pork and mushrooms. Use a spatula if necessary to spread the sauce so the meat is fully coated.
5. Slow Cook
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook:
- LOW: 4–5 hours
Cook until the pork is very tender and reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F.
Avoid opening the lid during cooking so the heat and moisture stay trapped inside.
6. Rest and Slice
Carefully transfer the pork tenderloin to a cutting board. Let it rest for about 5 minutes to help retain its juices. Slice into thick medallions or gently shred into large chunks if extra tender.
7. Finish the Sauce
Stir the mushroom sauce in the slow cooker to combine the juices from the pork. Taste and season with salt and black pepper if needed.
8. Serve
Serve the pork topped generously with the creamy mushroom sauce and mushrooms. Spoon extra sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles for a complete comforting meal.
