Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin

This crockpot pork tenderloin is one of those recipes that makes you feel like you nailed dinner without really trying. It’s juicy, buttery, slow cooked, and loaded with cozy flavor. The kind of pork tenderloin recipe you save, make again, then tell your sister about. It’s easy, forgiving, and honestly just hits every time.

This is a year-round recipe, but it really shines during busy weeks, chilly nights, or anytime you want slow cooker comfort food without babysitting the stove. I lean on slow cooker recipes like this when I want something hearty that still fits my low calorie lifestyle. This one was inspired by another tenderloin slow cooker recipe on this site and pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes or a simple veggie side.

Ingredients

• Pork tenderloins: This recipe uses two pork tenderloins, which most packages already include. Pork tenderloin is lean and cooks beautifully in the slow cooker when you watch the internal temperature. This is not the same cut as pork loin or pork loin roast, which needs a different cooking time.
• Beef broth: Keeps the meat moist while it slow cooks and creates a flavorful sauce in the bottom of the crock pot. It’s not a thick gravy, but it’s rich and spoonable. You can always thicken it later if you want more body.
• Seasoning blend: This is a mix of brown sugar substitute, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes. Together, they create a sweet, smoky, savory flavor with just a little warmth. Mixing everything at once makes seasoning the pork quick and even.
• Reduced fat butter: Adds richness without going overboard. It melts into the beef broth and helps keep the pork tender and juicy. A small amount goes a long way here.

See the recipe card below for the exact quantities of each ingredient.

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, mix together all of the seasoning blend ingredients until well combined. Sprinkle the seasoning over the pork tenderloins and gently pat it in on all sides.

Step 2: Place the seasoned pork into the crock pot. Pour the beef broth around the meat.

Step 3: Then add the butter sliced into small pats over the top. Cover and cook. Start checking the internal temperature early, around 1½ hours. Pork is done at 145 to 150, so don’t let it go over.

Step 4: Remove the pork and let it rest. Slice it, then return the pork to the slow cooker so it can soak up the sauce before serving.
