Rosemary Pork Tenderloin w/ Potatoes

This is one of the easiest recipes that I make.

The ingredients are simple, and it all cooks in the crock pot.

You will need:

  • a frozen pork tenderloin
  • 5 to 8 red or golden potatoes
  • 1/2 a yellow onion
  • garlic powder
  • rosemary leaves
  • salt/pepper


Put the frozen (yes, frozen) pork tenderloin in the crock pot.  add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to pork.  Add 1 cup of water.  You do not need to peel the potatoes.  Wash potatoes, cut in half and thinly slice the potatoes.   Put slices of potatoes on either side of the pork.  Salt and pepper the potatoes.  Sprinkle potatoes and pork with rosemary leaves.  (About a tablespoon)  Cut onion half into about 6 large chunks.  Set on top of pork.  Cook on high for about 3 hours.  Pork is done when juices run clear.

The homemade gravy is easy and delish!
Melt about 4 tablespoons of butter, add about 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for a few minutes as you stir with a whisk.  Then add the juices from the pork tenderloin.  Continue stirring and cooking until the gravy thickens.  Remove from heat and it's ready to cover your meat and potatoes!!
