Recipe Tips
- This recipe calls for 2 small 1 pound tenderloins. You can also use just one 3 pound pork loin.
- Searing isn't required but always recommended. Helps seal in the juices and gives the meat some color.
- Pork tenderloin is a lean cut of meat that can dry out if overcooked. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature and remove it when it's 145 degrees.
- You could add some potatoes, onions, and carrots in with the pork tenderloin
- Whisking in a little cornstarch to the sauce and it becomes a delicious silky gravy. Poured over my Garlic Roasted Mashed Potatoes is fantastic!
- Do not add any more liquid to the slow cooker. The tenderloin will make its own juices.

Fantastic Becca so happy you loved it!
Becca
This recipe is one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of making and eating. It was just the right amount of spicy, tender. I made the gravy then threw in carrots and potatoes. I will definitely be making this meal again, and soon.
Diane
Ah, this was do good! I did add carrots though.
Wendie
If you need a quick reply, you better send me an email. This recipe requires 1 1/2 cups of chicken stock.
Rosalie
How much is 1-1/2 cup chicken stock? Is it 1? or 1+1/2 or 1 to 1/2 cup? Thanks, making this NOW.. 🙂
Wendie
Yay Mandy 🙂 So happy you loved it!
Mandy
I just made this for dinner, and it was a hit! I stirred some mushrooms and caramelized onions into the sauce, and the gravy didn't thicken up like I hoped it would, but it was really flavorful. Also, I realized after starting that instead of pork tenderloin, I had pork tenderloin tips, so I monitored them with a meat thermometer and cooked on low for about 3 hours.Wendie
Fantastic Christof! I'm so happy you both loved it, thanks for the great review 🙂
