Why we love this Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin with Glaze:
Easy: You only need about 10 minutes of prep to make the very best Crockpot pork tenderloin. It’s such an easy recipe! Flavorful: Between the spices that make the dry rub and the glaze, there’s a whole lot of flavor at play here. This recipe is anything but bland! Never Dry: The low and slow cooking process helps to make the tenderloin moist and never dried out.
Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin Ingredients Needed:
Pork Tenderloin: Note that this is NOT the same thing as pork loin! Your pork tenderloins should weigh roughly one pound. Ketchup: This adds a sweet and tangy element to the glaze — you can skip it if you prefer but you may find your sauce is lacking something! Chicken Broth: I always recommend using a low sodium broth. That way, you can control the amount of salty flavor in the recipe. Balsamic Vinegar: You can omit this or swap in a bit of apple cider vinegar. You can also just cook it in a combination of broth and barbecue sauce and it will still be delicious! Honey: You can swap this for brown or granulated sugar if you prefer. Seasonings: Parsley, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper are what you need to create the best dry rub for the meat. Feel free to experiment with the flavors you enjoy! Cornstarch: This is what thickens the glaze to the very best consistency.
How to make Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin with Glaze
Look at how easy this process is! For more detailed instructions and measurements, scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the page. “This recipe has been transferred to a recipe card for easy access to find and make. I made the herb rub as directed but only added to one side which I laid in on the top. I have a picky eater who may have cut that part off and not eaten it but every piece was enjoyed and I was actually kind of sad there were no leftovers!! I love the fact that it cooks so quickly that I don’t need to start making it until I get home from work.” Gill Add your review
Whisk together garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, onion powder and paprika. In a separate bowl, stir together the broth, honey, balsamic vinegar, ketchup and cornstarch.
Season the pork tenderloin all over with the dry rub and place it in the slow cooker. Pour the glaze all over the meat in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low just until done.
Variations and Substitutions
Pork Tenderloin: You can swap this for boneless, skinless chicken breasts and use the same cook time! If you have a pork loin and not a pork tenderloin, see my Easy Slow Cooker Pork Loin for more info. Seasonings: Save some time by swapping the seasoning rub with your favorite all purpose blend. Honey: Don’t have any honey? No problem! Use another sweetener of your choice like brown sugar or maple syrup. Balsamic Vinegar: This gives a punch of flavor! It’s not going to taste very vinegary, but you can reduce it or swap with cider vinegar if you don’t like balsamic.
How to store Crockpot Pork Tenderloin with Glaze
Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat for 30 seconds at a time (or less) in the microwave until cooked all the way through. Be very careful to not overheat it or you’ll dry out the pork! Using a meat thermometer is always the best way to check for doneness.
Can I freeze Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin with Glaze?
You sure can! Let the pork tenderloin fully cool to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container. Label, date, and freeze for up to 3 months. Let it slowly thaw in the fridge prior to reheating.
Can I cook vegetables with my pork?
Definitely! The trick is to add vegetables that can cook at a low heat and be ready in 2-3 hours. Vegetables that are firmer and take longer to cook like potatoes and carrots are not the best option here unless you parcook them before you add them. Green beans, peppers, broccoli and vegetables that cook quickly are better options for a short cook time.
Serving suggestions:
Pork tenderloin with glaze is perfect over pasta, rice, or Mashed Potatoes! You can also compliment the hearty entree with a veggie side dish like Air Fryer Broccoli or Cheesy Baked Asparagus.
