Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the base: Place the pork tenderloin in the bottom of your slow cooker. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Add aromatics and vegetables: Sprinkle the minced garlic over the pork. Arrange the cubed potatoes and baby carrots around the tenderloin. (5 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Infuse with flavor: Distribute the chicken bouillon cubes amongst the vegetables. Pour the water over everything. (2 minutes)

04

Step
4 hrs

Slow cook to perfection: Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low heat for approximately 4 hours, or until the pork is slightly pink in the center and the potatoes are fork-tender. (4 hours)

05

Step
2 mins

Ensure doneness: Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork tenderloin to check for an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider searing the pork tenderloin in a hot skillet with a little olive oil before adding it to the slow cooker. This will create a beautiful crust and enhance the overall richness of the dish.
If you prefer a saucier dish, you can add a can of cream of mushroom soup or a packet of gravy mix to the slow cooker along with the other ingredients.
Feel free to experiment with different vegetables! Diced onions, celery, or even sweet potatoes would be delicious additions.
To prevent the potatoes from becoming mushy, you can add them to the slow cooker about halfway through the cooking time.

    I added some rosemary and thyme to the slow cooker, and it really elevated the flavor of the dish. I also used sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes, and it was a hit!

  • Rusty Waelchi

    This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! My kids love it, and I love how easy it is to throw everything in the slow cooker and forget about it.

  • Jamir Carter
