Since I have started blogging I have found some wonderful recipes for the crock pot. In the past my crock pot was used for dip or keeping things warm, but not for cooking a meal.
I found a recipe on Pinterest for pork tenderloin that sounded very interesting. I thought the combination of ingredients was kind of odd, but this recipe made me want to give it a try. The pork tenderloin turned out full of flavor and very tender.
And as always it is so nice to put something in a crock pot and walk away and end up with a delicious product.
The pork tenderloin was served with the honey wheat bread from my last post and rice. The pork tenderloin and the ingredients in the recipe make a nice sauce, which was used to serve over the rice.
Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin (Source: Adapted from recipeswelove1.blogspot.com)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 to 2 pound pork tenderloin
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoon yellow mustard
4 – 6 tablespoons pancake syrup
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons diced dried onions
3 teaspoons garlic salt
Directions:
Put the pork tenderloin into the crock pot and set aside. Put all of the other ingredients into a small bowl and mix together. Pour over the pork tenderloin. Turn the crock pot on low and cook for 6 hours. That’s it and you will have a tasty pork tenderloin that is surely to please everyone.
The pork tenderloin looks really nicely done and moist…
And I usually use the sauce over the fries, too. All that goodness… yum 😛
I had pulled pork recently that was made in a slow cooker (crockpot) – it was amazing! So I’m thinking of getting a slow cooker now too…
The recipes ingredients sound interesting and delicious, and it all looks wonderful. I love the crockpot…it’s like having a chef home cooking while you are out for the day! I try to stay with healthier versions, i.e. none of those with cream of whatever included, and it works out well. I will try this recipe soon…crockpot season is all year here, but this recipe looks particularly good for these cold winter days.
This is what I call comfort dish & I just love the idea cooking pork in crock pot. The meat is always tender & not over cooked! Cooking with crock pot makes it easy especially during the busy week days!
Delicious! I bet it was great served with your yummy bread.
The ingredients do sound a little odd but sometimes they come together to make the best flavor! As happened here! That looks pretty darn amazing!
Really succulent and tender. Would go really well with the wholewheat bread you made. Beautiful!
i just love pinterest and all the recipes on there…glad to see your recipe was a success…it looks so tender 😀
This looks perfect for these dreary days. I love my crockpot and your recipe looks pretty simple. I think I’ll try it for a weeknight! BTW, thank you, thank you for your lovely comment on my post the other day. It meant a lot to me 🙂
I need a crockpot.
I’m sure your tenderloin was delicious.
Maple and soy and mustard! Sounds perfect for pork! Loving the look of your bread, too 🙂
My crock pot is gathering dust in the basement. ;-( I really should use it more – love the idea of doing a pork tenderloin in it. Great inspiration – thanks.
Your pork tenderloin look yummylicious. Nothing beats the homemade comfort food. Well done.
Have a great week ahead.
How do you get the ingredients to “stick” to the pork like that? I made this last night (sooooo delicious) but my mix was very runny and most of it ended up at the bottom of the pot. Is that normal?
Thanks for the recipe 🙂
I am not sure why yours did not stick to the top. Maybe you had more liquid than I did. (Sorry that is not much help). I am so glad to hear that you liked this.
Would 4 hours on high work? I would like to make this for Sunday dinner, after church.
It may work, but I would try to do about 4 1/2 to 5 hours.
