Introduction

Depending on my schedule, sometimes I rely heavily on my crockpot. This is true when I know I have a busy day and won’t feel like cooking when I get home. It also happens more often in some weeks than others. Sound familiar?

Recently, I searched for a recipe for a slow cooker/crockpot meal. I still love cooking in my Instant Pot, but I was going out and was looking for something that could slow cook and would be nearly done when I got home. The nice thing about using my Instant Pot is that it slow cooks thanks to the Slow Cook button – once I got my Instant Pot, I got rid of my crockpot to save space because I realized I no longer needed it! I have the Instant Pot Duo Crisp 11-in-1 Air Fryer and Electric Pressure Cooker Combo, and with this 8-quart device, I’ve eliminated several other kitchen small appliances I had as well – the air fryer, steamer, and dehydrator are now gone too thanks to my Instant Pot!

I came across multiple versions of a recipe for cooking a pork tenderloin in a crockpot. Most were all pretty similar and decently rated (4-5 stars). I found a few that sounded good, made some changes, and we both thought it turned out fantastic! We had enough for three days, so before refrigerating the leftovers, we shredded the pork and sunk it into the sauce. The next day we used it to make a really tasty version of pulled pork sandwiches with a sweet sauce. I enjoyed it the second day more than the first day, so I’ll probably shred it and use it as pulled pork from now on. I froze the third shredded portion for a night when I don’t feel like cooking.

Equipment

Crockpot, Slow Cooker, or Multi Cooker

Ingredients

Ingredients:

2 pork tenderloins about 2 pounds total
1 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic minced (suggestion: Spice World Minced Garlic)
1/2 cup water

Glaze Ingredients:

1 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup Balsamic vinegar
1 cup water
4 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

Mix together the seasonings (sage, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic). Rub it over the pork tenderloins. Place 1/2 cup water in the crockpot along with the pork tenderloin. Slow cook on low for 6 hours (In my Instant Pot, this was more than enough – you may need to adjust the time depending on how fast yours cooks. I was aiming for around 145 degrees, and when I checked, mine was higher in temperature).
Approximately 1 hour before the tenderloins are finished, mix together the glaze ingredients (brown sugar, cornstarch, Balsamic vinegar, water, and soy sauce) in a saucepan. Heat the glaze at medium heat and stir until the glaze thickens. This should take about 4 minutes. Brush the glaze on the roast 3 or more times during the last hour of cooking.
Before serving, shred (if preferred) and pour the remaining glaze over the pork tenderloins. Serve with your favorite side dishes.
