Ingredients (Serves 6)
1 (2–3 lb / 900g–1.3kg) pork loin
1 packet onion soup mix
1 can (10.5 oz / 300g) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup (120 ml) water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
Place the pork loin in a baking dish or casserole.
In a bowl, mix together the onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, and water until smooth.
Pour the mixture evenly over the pork, making sure it’s well coated.
Cover the dish tightly with foil or a lid.
Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the pork is extremely tender and easily pulls apart.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding.
Spoon the rich onion gravy over the meat before serving.
Serving Suggestions
This dish shines when paired with something that can soak up all that flavorful gravy:
Creamy mashed potatoes
Buttered egg noodles
Steamed white rice
Add a simple green side like green beans, peas, or a crisp salad to balance the richness. Warm dinner rolls or rustic bread are perfect for catching every last drop of sauce.
Tips
For deeper flavor, you can sear the pork loin briefly before baking (optional).
Leftovers make excellent sandwiches—just pile the shredded pork onto bread and drizzle with extra gravy.
Rich, tender, and incredibly easy, this pork loin is proof that a handful of ingredients and a little patience can create something truly special.
