Why You’ll Love This Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin

What makes this recipe shine is the way it turns an affordable cut of pork into a restaurant-quality centerpiece. Slow cooking transforms pork tenderloin into a fork-tender delight, while the simple seasoning blend brings out the meat’s natural sweetness and depth.

Adding vegetables rounds out the meal perfectly, and the savory gravy created in the slow cooker blends seamlessly with the pork and sides—making it a complete, no-fuss dinner.

Best Tips for Slow Cooker Success

Start by removing silver skin or excess fat from your pork tenderloin for the best texture. To achieve evenly chopped vegetables like carrots, onions, and potatoes to line the bottom of your crock pot, a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper makes prep a breeze and ensures uniform cooking.

Searing the pork in a skillet beforehand—such as the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch—locks in juices and adds rich flavor. Deglazing the skillet with a splash of broth or wine before pouring it into the crock pot ensures no flavor is left behind.

How to Assemble and Cook Pork Tenderloin in the Crock Pot

Layer root veggies on the bottom, then nestle the seasoned pork on top. Pour your mixture of broth, seasonings, and a hint of Worcestershire over everything. Secure the lid, set your slow cooker to low, and let the magic happen over the next 4–6 hours.

When the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, confirmed easily with a ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking, it’s ready to slice and serve. Use a Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher to blend the softened vegetables into a rustic gravy.
