This slow cooker pork tenderloin is one of the earlier recipes I posted here at Let’s Dish, and it’s definitely been one of the most popular.
Don’t just take my word for what a great recipe it is. Read the comments and I think you’ll be convinced to try it.
We eat a lot of pork tenderloin at our house. It’s just so easy to prepare, and there are so many ways to prepare it. But this is hands-down, without a doubt, my family’s favorite way to enjoy pork tenderloin.
Besides the great taste, I love it because it’s so easy. I also love the glaze. A lot. In fact, you could just skip the pork and eat the glaze with a spoon!
I make this pork tenderloin often for Sunday dinner. It’s a snap to throw the roast into a slow cooker before we head to church.
When we get home, all I have to do is whip up the glaze and dinner is served. And I love that it’s nice enough to for company!
If you’re feeding a crowd–or some really hungry teenage boys–just use two pork tenderloins and double the sauce.
With a side of roasted or mashed potatoes and some steamed veggies, this Slow Cooker Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin is an easy, nutritious meal that the whole family will love.

I’ve made this before and you are right, it’s truly delicious! Just curious what kind of side dishes you make to go with it?

Any kind of potatoes or another roasted vegetable is great.

Is it possible to put this on high for 3-4 hours instead of low? I didn’t get it in the crock pot in time.
Sarah
Have you ever done this recipe in the oven instead of the slow cooker. If so, what temperature and how long?
Danelle
I have not, but I’m sure it would work. I would try finding a recipe for pork tenderloin in the oven and go with that cooking temp and time.
