This Crock Pot Pork and Noodles could not be any easier. Sometimes in our crazy busy lives we just need a few recipes that will allow us to keep our sanity and our hair. I am raising a couple of tweens and let me tell you it is exhausting. Days are filled with 150,000 small arguments that begin to wear you down! I once saw a Facebook post that said that raising teenagers was like being pecked to death by chickens. There is some truth to that!!
There is something to be said about a recipe that allows you to hold your own on these continuous arguments and defiant behavior and still get supper on the table. Now don’t get me wrong I love my children and I also love this fantastic Crock Pot Pork and Noodles. This seven ingredient recipe requires so little effort and tastes like you spent your ever last ounce of energy!!
Oh and what comfort food!! Who could resist slow cooked pork with savory gravy over egg noodles? You may be in the same situation as me and need a little break from that eye rolling smart mouthed teenager!!! Would I steer you wrong??
Crock Pot Pork & Noodles
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 pork tenderloin (1 1/4 – 1 1/2 lbs)
- 2 cans french onion soup (10.5 ounce)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoon flour
- 3 cups egg noodles uncooked ( I use the Amish egg noodles)
- 1 cup water
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- Place flour on shallow plate and roll pork tenderloin in it. Place in bottom of crock pot. Add soup, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder. Cover and cook for 5 hours on low or until tender enough to shred with two forks.
- Melt butter in microwave. Stir in flour to create smooth paste. Remove pork from crock pot and whisk in flour/butter mixture. Shred pork and return to crock pot.
- Add egg noodles and water to crock and cook until noodles are tender; approximately 30 minutes. Do not overcook because the noodles will turn to mush.
- Salt & pepper to taste,

Is there something I could substitute the French onion soup with? I HATE onions lol.
Thanks, Judi
You could use chicken or beef broth. You might need to add a touch more seasoning for flavor like pepper, garlic powder and maybe some dried parsley.
Thank you!! I’m really looking forward to trying this and expanding my cooking abilities
You are most welcome!!
Agreed. But I would consider low sodium & ½ broth ½ Water, to keep the Pork flavor dominate.
Some green herbs of choice (any mixed herb will do, I recommend Bells Seasoning as a general Idea, for example) pure parsley or Italian Seasoning work well. Paprika of any type is excellent.
Thanks for the heads up! Love your suggestions!
I have made similar pork tloin with 1c beef broth, 1c red wine. 30 min before finish, add an envelope of brown gravy sauce, mix in and let cook for 30 min. Tasty!
Could you use a pork loin instead of a tenderloin?
I am not sure. I don’t think a loin is going to shred like a tenderloin and as I am thinking about all the pork loin recipes I know they don’t shred like that.
A pork Loin does very well. I use pork lion for all my shredded pork recipes!
Thanks for the heads up John!
Hi Beth, this looks like a keeper. I think I will cook noodles separately! Thanks for so many great recipes ?
Would this freeze well?
If the noodles are cooked al dente than it will freeze well. If they are cooked too long they will be mushy after defrosting and heating.
Do you think frozen egg noodles would work well? They seem to hold up nicely in crockpot recipes.
Yes I think they would. Please let us know how it goes.
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. Tried it today and it is delicious! The fact that it is easy is an added bonus 🙂
Thanks so much Jessica! I am so glad that you liked it!!
