Thanks for joining me for Crock Pot Wednesday. I’m looking forward to what you have to say today.
This Beth Hensperger recipe is a definite favorite. I hope you will give it a try. I have actually adapted two of her recipes for this. They come from her book Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Family Favorites. If you are a slow cooker fan, I recommend this book as a great standard for your home.
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 1 1/4 pound pork tenderloins, trimmed of silverskins and fat and patted dry
- black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 3 Tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2-3 medium-size shallots, to your taste, minced
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water
- Coat the inside of the crock with nonstick spray. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil, then brown the tenderloins, one at a time on all sides. Place the tenderloins in the crock, arranging them side by side. Sprinkle with the shallots. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours until the pork is fork tender.
- Remove the pork to a serving platter; cove with foil and let stand for 10 minutes. Turn the cooker to HIGH and add the cornstarch slurry. Stir a few times and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes to thicken. Cut the tenderloins into 1.2-inch thick slices with the sauce from the slow cooker.
- Sweet Potatoes: My favorite way to do these is to cook them for about 7-8 minutes in the microwave and finish them in the oven to crisp the skin. I’m one of those strange people who eats the skins. (Remember, it’s great fiber!) Alternatively, you can bake them in the oven at 350 degrees for approximately 1 hour. This will depend upon the size of the potatoes. They are done when they are soft to the touch and can be easily squeezed.
- I like mine plain. No butter. No anything else. The potato is perfect as is in my opinion. This is often my lunch meal. It suits me just fine.

Sounds delicious! Thanks for the review on the cookbook. I love cookbooks but lately have been disappointed when I find nothing of interest in them. I am going to be on the look out for this one!!
Looks fabulous… sorry I haven’t been around for awhile, I moved to the US Virgin Islands (I still giggle when I say that) for six months, and it is taking awhile to get settled. But i do think I am caught up, and will be back with new postings…
Come take a look at my new blogs of Island life!
Now I need to track down a crock pot somewhere
I had posted Ginger Soy Ribs last night that showed up on Mr. Linky but they aren’t there today!!? I’m confused!
well hot diggity! i’m always looking for recipes making use of the good ol’ crockpot AND pork loin was on sale at the grocery store this week. yes, i know what’s for supper tomorrow night! 🙂
This looks fabulous! I’m a huge fan of the “Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker” series, and didn’t realize they’d published another last fall. Thanks for the heads-up, and the preview!
I am actually in Missouri ozarks. Thanks for visiting my blog 🙂
