Equipment

  • Slow cooker or crock pot
  • ​Small Mixing bowl
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • sharp knife
  • Meat thermometer
  • Tongs or large spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pork tenderloins about 1 lb. each, most come in a pack of 2
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Swerve brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup Reduced fat butter

Instructions
 

  • Add the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes to a small bowl, and stir to combine.
  • Place the tenderloins on a cutting board, and sprinkle with the seasoning, patting the seasoning into the pork on all sides.
  • Place them into your crock pot.
  • Add the beef broth. Slice the butter into pats and add those over top.
  • Cook on low 6-7 hours or high for 3-4.
  • Begin checking the temperature after about 1 1/2 hours, pork should temp at 145-150, be careful not to go over that.
  • When finished, remove the pork and let it rest for about 30 minutes. Slice, and then place back into the broth in the crock pot.

Notes

  • Pork tenderloin cooks quickly in the slow cooker, so start checking the internal temperature early. Overcooking will dry it out.
  • This recipe is written for pork tenderloin, not pork loin or pork loin roast. They are different cuts and require different cooking times.
  • Let the pork rest before slicing to keep the meat juicy.
  • For extra flavor, return the sliced pork to the crock pot so it can soak up the sauce.
  • The broth and butter create a light sauce. Thicken with a cornstarch slurry if you want more of a gravy.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container with the sauce to keep the pork tender.
