Total Lurker: Pork Tenderloin in crockpot?

lflentie

Just wondering if anyone has a good recipe to cook a pork tenderloin (mine is 1lb) in a crockpot, preferrably all day? Thanks!

I have made this before, and it came out good. Not sure that I cooked it from the early morning though, I think any recipe with a lean pork tenderloin is going to risk being pretty dry if it cooks all day.

Thanks! Maybe I'll try it when I will be home instead of a work day.

I'd just roast (or grill) a tenderloin. They are really lean and small and IMO are not the best cut for a crockpot. They cook up in no time in the oven.

This is really delicious.

Oh man, pork tenderloin turns out fabulous in a crock pot when done correctly. Much better than when roasted, IMO. 

It only takes 5 hours on low, and you'll want to add a bit of liquid (~1/2c. or less: broth, water, or pineapple juice works well) as the cut is so lean.

You can season it however you prefer. We typically go with salt and pepper, cumin, onions, and green peppers.

Thanks for all the suggestions!
