Crockpot Honey Garlic BBQ Pork Tenderloin
How to Cook a Pork Tenderloin in a Crock Pot
Pork tenderloin goes on sale all the time at Target, Cub Foods, etc. and I love to stock up when it’s cheap! I load up my deep freezer with about 5 at a time. They are perfect to pull out in the winter time to make some comfort food as well as garlic mashed potatoes and green beans! They make the meal complete.
This honey garlic BBQ pork loin recipe is so flavorful that your family will lick their plates with the sauce!
Sometimes I get in a rut and wonder “what’s the best pork tenderloin crockpot recipe?” and this one always is a winner.
The slow cooker really makes the pork meat tender, juicy, and beautiful. You can cook it in the crockpot on low or high for your needs but I recommend the slow way to make it more tender! Make sure to check out all our other easy crockpot meals!
