Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

Please note that a pork loin and pork tenderloin are NOT the same cut of meat. Tenderloins are thin and small. Pork loins are wide enough to cut pork chops from them.
- Pork tenderloin is a very tender and lean cut of meat, It is my favorite cut of pork.
When cooking pork tenderloin, it is important to remove the silver skin on the side of each pork tenderloin.
- The silver skin is a silvery-white sheen membrane on the pork tenderloins. It is a thick connective tissue and it doesn’t break down when the pork is cooked. I use a knife and carefully cut it off. If you don’t remove the silver skin, you will have a tough uneatable area on each tenderloin.
I suggest using low-sodium or no-salt chicken broth.
- Can substitute vegetable broth.
Do NOT make the soup. You are only using the dry mix.
For a thicker gravy, omit the chicken broth or water.
- If you want a thinner sauce, add more liquid after cooking.
You can use any condensed cream of soup in this recipe. Cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, or cream of celery soup all work fine.
- Look for unsalted Cream of Chicken soup.

What to Serve with Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin

This crock pot pork tenderloin recipe has quickly become a family favorite. I always have the ingredients on hand to whip this up at a moment’s notice. When it comes to what to serve this with, I have lots of great side dish ideas. First off, consider serving it alongside a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes or buttery rice to soak up all that rich and savory sauce. Those tasty cooking juices are the best part of the whole meal! To add some vibrant color and freshness, a side of sautéed green beans, carrots, or roasted asparagus would be a lovely addition. And speaking of balance, a crisp and refreshing garden salad with a zesty vinaigrette will provide a delightful contrast to the tender pork. For a heartier option, serve up some crusty garlic bread or warm dinner rolls to round out the meal.
