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. This has become one of my go to recipes since finding it several years ago. Everyone I’ve ever made it for just lives it. I was wondering if anyone had tried it from frozen pork loin in the instant pot?

  2. 5 stars
    I get more compliments on this than anything else I make. The most consistent comment is “best ever” Pork Tenderloin. I’ve been using this recipe for years now and it’s still my favorite to eat. Great job on the recipe, I wouldn’t change a thing.

  3. 5 stars
    I would highly recommend making the cooking liquids into a gravy before serving! I put the meat on a cutting board, poured the cooking liquid into a sauce pan, and returned the meat to slow cooker on warm. I whisked 1/4 cup cold water and 2 tablespoons of flour until all lumps were dissolved. Put the sauce pan on the stove over medium heat and whisk in slurry. Bring up to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and stir occasionally, until it coats the back of a spoon, about 10 mins. My family can’t wait until we make this one again! Thank you!

    1. Andrew, I haven’t made this recipe in the Romertopf clay baker but it should work well. Let me know if you try it and how it turns out.
