There are  few things I love more than the flavor of sherry and mushrooms…

One of those just happens to be sherry, mushrooms and pork…

And did I mention in a crockpot?

I think I love this simple recipe because it enables my obsession to take a cut of meat and prepare it multiple ways.

Truth be told, this particular half pork loin was made into three dishes to be exact.

In addition to this dish, this half loin made…

Fried Pounded Pork Loin with Biscuits and Gravy (recipe coming soon)

And, BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches

I reserved a third of the half loin (oh lordie the math involved) for the Biscuits and Gravy (perfect for breakfast OR dinner) and used my crockpot to cook up the remainder to split between the sandwiches and the Mushroom Sherry dish.

I lined my crockpot, then placed the loin in fat side up.

I then gave it some flavor by shakin’ on some Lawry’s Seasoned Salt and fresh cracked black pepper.

Now I put a lid on ‘er and cooked on high for six hours.

I then sliced up half of the loin for my Mushroom Sherry dish and pulled the remaining portion for my sandwiches…

Now, if I were just making the Mushroom Sherry Pork, I would have added the ingredients below (sans the drippings) to the crockpot prior to cooking.

But since I like a little versatility, I just cooked up the loin by itself and heated the “sauce” up in a sauce pan and drizzled over the top…

Ya know, I like living life on the edge like that

Regardless how ya make it, here is what you need…

You might need to go to a gourmet grocer for this…

Brace yourself…

1 Can Cream of Mushroom… go on and opt for the healthy version, you won’t miss the fat.

1/2 Cup Sherry… you can use the stuff from the liquor store or the stuff right next to the vinegar in the grocery store.

If you are adding it to the crockpot that is it…

If you are heating it up after the fact, go on and add 1/2 cup of the drippings from the loin to the saucepan.

Now just drizzle your sauce over the loin slices and let them soak up the flavor.

Yum.

Three very different meals from one cut of meat. Mommy score!
