Savory Peppered Pork Stew: Slow-Cooked to Perfection!

Step 1

Set your slow cooker on High and pour in a splash of water to coat the bottom of the pot, creating a cozy environment for your ingredients to mingle. Drop in the vibrant carrots and let them dance in the heat until they reach that perfect balance of almost tender, which usually takes about an hour of simmering.

Step 2

Next, it's time to introduce the star of the show - the condensed soups. As they join the party with the carrots, add a touch of water to thin out the soup to a delightful broth-like consistency. Now, in goes the crisp celery, hearty potatoes, and aromatic onion, followed by a magical sprinkle of cumin, pepper, basil, garlic, mustard, and dill weed. Give everything a gentle stir, allowing the flavors to blend harmoniously, and don't forget to season with a pinch of salt to elevate the dish.

Step 3

Place the tender pork tenderloin on top of this flavor-packed medley of veggies, adjusting its size if needed to snugly fit in the pot. Cover the pot and let the ingredients continue their culinary journey on High for about 4 hours, allowing the pork to retain a subtle pink hue at the center. To ensure it's perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to confirm that the internal temperature reaches at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Step 4

Once the pork is cooked to perfection, carefully remove it from the pot and cut it into delectable chunks before returning them to the savory mix below. Stir everything together with a tender touch and let it simmer a bit longer to allow the flavors to intertwine even further. Enjoy the delicious aroma filling your kitchen as you prepare to savor this delightful creation.
