Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin Recipe Adaptations
You can serve the recipe for slow cooker tender pork tenderloin with or without the fresh mushrooms, but I would encourage you to try it with the mushrooms. It is an easy way to add a great depth of flavor. You could also adapt the recipe with slow cooker pork chops, if you prefer.
For the red wine in the pork tenderloin recipe, pick any kind you like! It doesn’t have to be the best brand, but if you want to use the same one you will drink later, you will have plenty left after prepping the recipe. Not a fan of red wine? You can always substitute beef broth in its place. It helps to make a delicious mushroom gravy to serve over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
If you are looking for an alternative to the cream of mushroom soup or golden mushroom soup in the recipe, find a great recipe for a homemade option here. I do suggest using the regular creamed soup recipe versus a reduced fat soup. It does make a difference in the creaminess in the end result.
