Slow cooker pork tenderloin

I stumbled across this recipe and didn't even save the link so I can't give credit where it is due. I love this one because it's really easy to throw together, but it turns out so tender and moist, I just love it! I usually can find pork tenderloins for a deal, I just watch for them to be near their sale by date and ask for a discount. I got a $12 roast for just under $5 dollars last week!


  • 2 pork tenderloins, about 
  • 1 pound each salt and pepper 
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced ( I usaully ue 2 and press them instead of mincing them) 
  • 4 Tbs grainy Dijon mustard 
  • 2 Tbs honey 
  • 2 Tbs brown sugar 
  • 1 Tbs cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar 
  • 1/2 tsp dried leaf thyme 
  • 1 Tbs cornstarch 
  • 1 Tbs cold water

Wash and trim the pork, pat dry; sprinkle with salt and pepper, place pork in slow cooker. Combine garlic, mustard, honey, brown sugar, vinegar, and thym; pour over the pork. Turn pork to coat throughly.Cover and cook on low 7 to 9 hours, or high 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours. Remove pork to a plate, cover with foil to keep warm.

Pour the sauces into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for 8 to 1 minutes, or until reduced by about 1/3. Combine the cornstarch and cold water; whisk into the reduced sauce and cook for 1 minute longer. Serve pork sliced with thickened juices.
