I have a large family so I would need to double this recipe. Would I need to double the cooking time as well? Thanks.

WOW - My guests were stunned that this was so easy to make. I added mushrooms (great addition to the sauce flavor) and instead of thyme, I used rosemary. All my guests asked for the recipe. Guess what, I make it the night before and cooked it on high for 2 hours. In the morning before leaving for work, put it on low and served it at 7:00 pm. The meat was so tender and juicy.

Does it say to slice the tenderloin before you put it in the slow cooker?
By JG on July 31, 2012
This has become my favorite pork recipe. It is good for family or company. I always brown the pork before adding it to the slow cooker. It is really good served on top of the vegetables, or if it falls apart, put the veggies on top and no one will notice.

I tried this dish for my New Years dinner w/ my greens and peas..Needless to say "it was a Big Hit"..we were in heaven, I thought my husband was going into a moaning seizure. thanks Paula, you the best.. Rachel

This is a good dish but next time ill leave out the thme, we didnt care for that flavor, besides that it was great.

This is a delicious & easy recipe! However, it's not as pretty when I dish it out. How should I serve this? When I try to slice the pork like the picture, it falls apart. Do you serve the carrots separately or transfer it all to one dish? Thanks!

Hi Casey, No you would not slice the tenderloin prior to cooking.
