Crockpot Pork in gravy

Comfort food at it's finest.  Served over bread or with mashed potatoes this is delicious. Enjoy!







It's very cold, damp and terribly dreary day here in Pittsburgh so some comfort food is on my menu for dinner.  Yes it's supposed to be spring but it shows very little signs of the spring in the air.  Hoping for better weather soon....and that it stays around. lol

I think the below mixture makes for a very tasty gravy and allowing it to cook in the crockpot makes it super easy for a day like today. 


Helpful hint:  The gravy is made after the pork is cooked.  I removed the pork and added the drippings to a medium size pan and over low heat slowly added my flour which I whisked with a little water.

  To make gravy..Follow instructions on the back of the Wondra Flour.  This particular sifted flour comes in a small container and is so helpful in making sauces and gravies..  (I used Wondra Brand sifted flour.  Recipe is on the can)




1 1/2 lb. pork tenderloin or pork loin
1 pkg. onion soup mix
2 cups+ low salt beef broth or water... If you do not have broth just make sure you sear your roast before to make deep brown drippings.


Sear pork in oil until slightly browned on both sides.  Do Not add any seasonings.

In a large bowl or pourable dish mix onion soup mix, broth or water.  Whisk or stir very well. Note: it is not necessary to add broth but I found it made my gravy really hearty.  

Place pork in crockpot.  Add  mixed onion soup, water or beef broth.  Cover and cook low 4 to 6 hours.  For speedy results cook high for approximately 3 to 4 hours depending on size of roast.

  Note: you could cut the roast in half to speed up cooking.  It will cook faster in pieces than in whole. 

Remove roast from pot and allow to rest for ten minutes. Cut in slices and add to thickened liquid.
