Ingredients for Crockpot Beef Tenderloin

• Beef tenderloin: Look to grab a tenderloin that is around 6 pounds, which will fit perfectly in your slow cooker.
• Diced tomatoes with mild green chiles: These amped-up tomatoes add acidity and spice to your beef tenderloin sauce, giving the meat a unique flavor compared to more typical buttery or herby recipes.
• Dry red wine: Wine adds richness to meat dishes like this one.
• Condensed tomato soup and mushroom soup: Canned soup thickens the sauce and adds fat and creaminess, helping keep the meat tender. Make sure to use undiluted cans!
• Tomato sauce: Canned tomato sauce helps loosen up the sauce and provides more liquid for the beef tenderloin to cook in.
• Garlic cloves: The garlic works as the aromatic for this dish, enhancing all those rich, creamy and acidic flavors.
• Worcestershire sauce: This fermented condiment adds an umami finish to your beef tenderloin.
• Ground mustard: Powdered mustard enhances the flavors of the tomatoes and the Worcestershire sauce.
