Dump a whole pork tenderloin in the slow cooker with 3 simple ingredients and your husband will swear you spent all day cooking.

Place pork in the bottom of the slow cooker.
In a bowl, whisk cream of mushroom soup, wine (or broth), and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Pour evenly over pork—do not stir.

3. Cook Low & Slow

Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours (or HIGH for 2.5–3 hours), until pork reaches 145°F internally.
Do not overcook—tenderloin dries out past 150°F.

4. Rest & Serve

Remove pork; let rest 5–10 minutes.
Slice into medallions.
Spoon warm sauce from the slow cooker over top.

A: Yes! Use GF cream of mushroom soup (like Campbells GF) and GF broth.
