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 if overcooked. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature and remove it when it's 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.
