Dump a whole pork tenderloin in the slow cooker with 3 simple ingredients and your husband will swear you spent all day cooking.

To add a touch of sweetness, scatter 1 small sliced onion or 1/2 cup sliced carrots around the pork before pouring on the soup mixture; they’ll soften into the sauce as it cooks. If your tenderloin is on the larger side (closer to 2 pounds), plan on the longer end of the cooking time and confirm doneness with a thermometer.

Food safety tips: Always keep raw pork refrigerated until you’re ready to cook, and avoid letting it sit
