Ingredients
2 pork tenderloins (about 2–3 pounds total)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for searing)
1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Season the pork tenderloins with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
For extra flavor, sear the pork in a hot skillet with olive oil for 2–3 minutes per side before placing it in the slow cooker.
In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth.
Place the pork tenderloins in the slow cooker and pour the creamy ranch mixture evenly over the top.
Cover with the lid and cook on Low for 6–8 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until the pork is tender.
Remove the pork and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or shredding.
Stir the sauce well and spoon it generously over the pork before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
