Tips for slow cooker pork tenderloin

• This recipe calls for 2 small 1 pound tenderloins. You can also use just one 3 pound pork loin.
  
• Searing isn’t required but always recommended. Helps seal in the juices and gives the meat some color.
• Pork tenderloin is a lean cut of meat that can dry out is overcooked. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature and remove when its 145 degrees.
• You could add some potatoes, onions and carrots in with the pork tenderloin.
• Do not add any more liquid to the slow cooker. The tenderloin will make its own juices.

Whisking in a little cornstarch to the sauce and it becomes a delicious silky gravy. Poured over my Garlic Roasted Mashed Potatoes is what dreams are made of.
