Pork Tenderloin with Shredded Brussels Sprouts

Perfectly seasoned pork tenderloin topped with a lovely gravy-like sauce and served with a brussels sprouts side.


When we have pork, it's usually my mother-in-law's which has some mix of Italian seasonings on it and it's so darn good. I've been trying to make my own pork roast and a lot of them have glazes or bacon. I really wanted to try this recipe in particular because of the brussels. I didn't realize it had a sauce to go on top or really anything about the seasonings. I just knew it had brussels and I love love brussels. This recipe is right up there with my mother-in-law's recipe and I adore the little sauce and the brussels side dish. The caraway seeds was a new seasoning for us and we all really enjoyed it with the paprika. The sauce was mouthwateringly delicious. It paired perfectly with the pork.

This Slow Cooker Pork Roast recipe is definitely a go-to because it has all the classic elements of my mother-in-law's version of pork roast. I adore recipes that come with "built-in" side dish and this particular recipe is a Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Sweet Potatoes from Little House Big Alaska and it has a side of sweet potatoes plus the pork is wrapped in bacon.
