Easy, Tasty Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin

Who doesn’t love an easy delicious meal that practically cooks itself? After a long hard day working it is super nice to just be able to dish it up. This pork tenderloin is fantastic to have a meal ready when you are.

Tender, savory pork tenderloin is a great hearty main dish to have ready to eat after a long day. Pair it up with some quick potatoes or rice and steamed veggies and you are good to go.

Pork Tenderloin

This lean cut of pork is relatively inexpensive that has a great amount of flavor. The trick to cooking it is to not let it get too dry. Using a crock pot is the easiest way to do this.

Season your meat and sear it in a heavy pan before placing it in the crock pot. Add the rest of the seasonings and broth and let it cook. It’s a ten-minute prep at the most.

Set the crock pot to low and let it simmer for 4 hours, or until it reaches at least 145 degrees inside. Use those cooking juices as an Au jus when you serve it up.

Easy Dinner

For something like this, it is convenient to use instant mashed potatoes as a side dish. I would normally thicken the juices from the crock pot into a gravy, but this one has red wine, and I am just not fond of how those gravy’s turn out. For this one, I use my rice cooker to make some easy pilaf or grab a box mix.

This recipe is so easy I use it all the time with my programmable crock pot or stop by the house at lunch time to set it up. So nice to have a home cooked meal almost ready to go when you get home after a long day.
