Another easy dinner to make in the slow cooker that takes very little prep time. We marinated the pork tenderloin with all the ingredients overnight in a ziplock bag, but it’s not necessary. The brussels sprouts are great because I buy them at Trader Joe’s pre-shaved so they are ready to eat right out of the bag. 8-10 minutes and a little olive oil in a pan is all they need. Enjoy!
Shopping List
- 2 lbs. of pork tenderloin (I get mine at Trader Joe’s)
- 1 lemon (or 2 if you want a little stronger lemon flavor)
- 1/4 cup of olive oil (for the tenderloin)
- 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 1 bag of shaved brussels sprouts (I get the 10 oz. bag from Trader Joe’s and use about 70% of the bag for 2 people)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil (for the brussels sprouts)
- Camp Mix Original Seasoning (you can purchase here. You can also just use salt, pepper, and garlic salt)
Brussels Sprouts:
- Preheat pan on stovetop on medium heat
- Add 1 TBSP of olive oil to pan, making sure the entire bottom of the pan is coated
- Add brussels sprouts and sprinkle with Camp Mix seasoning
- Stir every few minutes to cook evenly
- Cook for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned
Pork Tenderloin:
- In a small bowl, zest the lemon (if you do not have a lemon zester I recommend this one HERE). Once the lemon is zested, cut in half and juice the lemon in the same bowl
- Combine pork tenderloin, olive oil, lemon zest & juice, and rosemary in a large ziplock bag
- Refrigerate and marinate overnight (If you are not marinating overnight, you can skip the ziplock bag and combine the ingredients directly in the slow cooker)
- Place all the ingredients from the ziplock bag in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours
Wow! This was a surprise meal I prepared for my wife on our 20th anniversary and it turned out great. Thanks so much for sharing! Keep posting….
