Steps:
- Heat beef stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add thyme, rosemary and mushroom stems. Simmer 30 minutes.
- Heat 1 Tbs of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add bacon & green onions. Cook stirring occasionally, until bacon is crisp; add sliced mushroom caps. Cook stirring often, 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the wine; heat to a simmer. Simmer 10 minutes. Add beef stock/mushroom mixture and the cream (or half-and-half) to skillet; heat to a simmer. Simmer 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a separate heavy skillet heat 1 Tbs of the oil over high heat until very hot, cook tenderloin slices, in batches, adding more oil if necessary until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Season with salt & pepper to taste (remember bacon/prosciutto can be salty). Set aside, keep warm.
- Add remaining 1/4 cup of wine to the heavy skillet the tenderloin was cooked in; cook, stirring to scrape up browned bits, until wine reduces by half, 5 minutes. Add this to the simmering mushroom sauce. If mushroom sauce seems thin - thicken with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons of cold water. Add parsley & pepper to taste. Serve pork with sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Rub salt and pepper over all sides of pork tenderloins; nestle tenderloins next to each other in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add garlic and mushrooms. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir vinegar into mushroom sauce. Pour mushroom sauce over tenderloins, letting sauce seep between the two tenderloins.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tenderloins are lightly pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer tenderloins to a serving dish.
- Drain the drippings, including mushrooms, from the baking dish into a measuring cup, scraping the bottom to get all the brown bits. Remove 1/4 cup of the fat from the mixture and pour into a saucepan. Add enough chicken broth to the drippings to make 2 cups; whisk flour into drippings until incorporated. Stir broth-drippings mixture into the saucepan with fat over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
- Slice tenderloins into medallions and top with half the gravy. Pour the remaining gravy into a gravy boat for serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is about 1 pound in weight and has a uniform thickness. This will ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Sear the tenderloin before cooking: Searing the tenderloin will help to brown the outside and lock in the juices. This will result in a more flavorful and juicy tenderloin.
- Use a slow cooker with a lid: A slow cooker with a lid will help to keep the tenderloin moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Add liquid to the slow cooker: Adding liquid to the slow cooker will help to create a flavorful gravy. You can use water, broth, or wine.
- Cook the tenderloin on low for 4-6 hours: Cooking the tenderloin on low for 4-6 hours will allow it to become tender and fall apart easily.
- Make the gravy: Once the tenderloin is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and set it aside. Strain the cooking liquid and then add it to a saucepan. Bring the liquid to a simmer and then add the gravy thickener. Stir until the gravy has thickened.
- Serve the tenderloin with the gravy: Slice the tenderloin and serve it with the gravy. You can also serve it with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Pork tenderloin is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Slow cooker pork tenderloin with bacon and mushroom gravy is an easy and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tenderloin is cooked on low in the slow cooker until it is fall-apart tender, and the bacon and mushroom gravy adds a rich and savory flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
