SIMPLE CROCKPOT PORK TENDERLOIN & VEGETABLES

When your day doesn’t go quite as planned it is nice to have control over something. Just knowing that this Simple Crockpot Pork Tenderloin & Vegetables take only minutes to throw together and need no special attention is a miracle on a busy day.

I honestly had no intentions of sharing this recipe. This morning I was so frazzled that it was almost noon by the time I threw this in the crockpot. I had done similar roasts before but this was a little bit of this and a little bit of that so we would have dinner tonight. I decided to share what I was doing on my Instagram Story. It turned out SO WELL I knew I had to post it for all of you.

I diced some potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions and tossed them with some olive oil and threw them right in my crockpot. I used the biggest crockpot I have (6 qt) for this one because I knew my pork tenderloin was large. You can use a smaller one, or even use fewer veggies if you have a smaller family.

I placed the pork tenderloin right on top of the veggies. I drizzled it with a little olive oil and sprinkled it with salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic. Cover and cook on high for 4-6 hours depending on the size of the tenderloin mine was large so I went for the 6 hours. Use a meat thermometer to double check the internal temperature of your roast to ensure it is cooked thoroughly.  You can also cook on low for 8-10 hours. This is great if you have to be out of the house all day.

Now I put the roast on top of the veggies for a couple reasons. The vegetables soften with the juices from the pork and get a ton of flavor. I wanted to slice my pork roast into chop like portions. By cooking it like this it didn’t fall apart as easily but was still super tender. This allowed me to slice it without any problems.

I did such a large Crockpot Pork Tenderloin that I only cut half of it up for dinner tonight. I saved the other half and put it in the fridge to slice up and serve with bbq sauce for sandwiches another night this week. I love a two for one!

  4. Step 4
    Cover the crock pot and turn on low for 8-10 hours, or high for 4-6 hours.

HOW TO MAKE TERIYAKI TENDERLOIN WITH VEGETABLES

  • Prep the sauce and set it aside.
  • Add to the slow cooker. Add the pork tenderloin to the base of the slow cooker, ensuring that all of the tenderloins is touching the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the vegetables to the empty spaces surrounding the tenderloin, or on top. Pour the sauce over the tenderloin and vegetables.
  • Slow cook. Add the lid to the slow cooker and cook on high for 2 1/2 hours, or low for 3 1/2- 4 hours, until the tenderloin reaches 145 F.
    • Thicken the sauce.
    • Serve!

    HOW TO MAKE THIS A FREEZER MEAL

    • Using a large freezer bag, add the vegetables to the bottom of the bag, along with the tenderloin.
    • Whisk the ingredients for the sauce together and pour it over the tenderloin and vegetables.
    • Freeze the bag flat for 2-3 months. Allow it to fully defrost before cooking.

CAN YOU MAKE THIS RECIPE IN THE INSTANT POT INSTEAD?

If you were to make it in the instant pot, I’d sear the pork tenderloin first, Turn the instant pot on manual and set the timer to about 15 minutes. Though I haven’t tried this method with the vegetables and 15 minutes may overcook them, so adapting for the instant pot may take some tweaking.

Balsamic Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • 4 lb. pork tenderloin
  • 1 cup organic chicken broth
  • 4 cups beef broth (Organic)
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (I use fig balsamic vinegar which is hard to find, but amazing.)

What Is The Difference Between Pork Loin And Pork Tenderloin?

Although they sound alike Pork Loin and Pork Tenderloin come from different parts of the pig.

A pork loin is a larger and often tougher cut of meat that usually needs to be cooked for a much longer period of time.

However pork tenderloin is long and narrow, so it cooks much faster than pork loin. It’s great for grilling! Yet make sure not to overcook it because it dries out quickly.

Fortunately, in this recipe, the crock pot makes it possible to use either pork tenderloin or pork loin.
