Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Girard’s Olde Venice Italian Dressing
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless pork tenderloin
  • 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 8 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 purple onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fennel
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Italian seasoning add more to taste
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add Girard’s Old Venince Italian Dressing, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, fennel and Italian seasoning to slow cooker and place on high heat.
  • Cut pork tenderloin into 2 large chunks and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Add olive oil to large skillet and place over medium-heat. Add pork to the hot oiled pan and sear on all sides until well browned. Remove pork and place in slow cooker.
  • Add onion and garlic to the skillet (adding more olive oil if necessary) and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring to remove any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
