Pork Tenderloin sorta makes me happy. Okay, I lied. This balsamic pork tenderloin really makes me happy.

Let me tell ya why. It just couldn’t get any easier. Seriously.

Probably because it takes all of five minutes of my time to make, leaving my slow cooker to work its magic and make me look like the best cook ever.

Gosh, I love it when that happens.

You just open up a package of pork tenderloins from the grocery store, whisk up some simple ingredients that you have on hand in your pantry, toss it all into the slow cooker, set the timer, and then at supper time your family thinks you hung the moon – or something of grand proportions.

It’s awesome, I think.

Totally 100% awesome.

Or lazy. Or something.

But, whatever it is, I’m totally in love with the result it gives me with this fabulously tender, flavorful, and delicious balsamic pork tenderloin.

If you’ve happened to try my Balsamic Beef recipe that I shared many, many, many months ago, then you’ll realize that this uses the same balsamic mixture that I use with the beef recipe.

Let me tell you something. If you’ve not tried that recipe, you really, really should take care of that right about now! (I’m kidding. Sorta)

Once you’ve cooked your balsamic pork tenderloins, they will literally being falling apart tender. I have to use tongs and a huge slotted spoon to get mine out of my slow cooker!

Once you remove your pork tenderloins, you can spoon over more of the balsamic gravy that has cooked with the pork or you can pour it into a saucepan and cook it until it has reduced by half for a thick, sweet, delicious glaze. Your call.

For these photos, I couldn’t wait on cooking it to reduce. We were starving and I had to get supper on the table immediately!

I’m sure you all have experienced that a time or two in your lives.

Right?

So, pull out that slow cooker and toss this in as soon as humanly possible. I promise you’ll thank me.

  1. I’m loving my slow cooker on these hot days! I’ll need to add this to my list!

  2. Seriously…why didn’t I think of doing this?? I made the balsamic beef and it was out of this world good. Can’t wait to try this on pork.

  3. Looks delish! I am wondering if I can do this with thick porkchops (I have a bunch in my freezer)….I will definately try when I have my tenderloins!! I make your balsamic roast and the hubby loves it.

  4. This looks amazing!!! I am always looking for more slow cooker recipes and I still remember your balsamic beef!

  5. My mouth is watering. I need to do more slow cooking. Have you made it with other vinegars? I bet it would make an amazing sandwich with a slice of red onion and a swath of mustard. Did I mention my watering mouth?
