How to make crock pot pork tenderloin:
First, put all of the ingredients in the crockpot. You can use frozen or thawed meat.
Just cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high 4-6 hours. It is really that easy. This toss and go recipe is realy quick.
Serving ideas:
We ate it with mashed potatoes and peas. We actually had some left overs this time and they tasted even better the next day for lunch.
It’s also really good with rice. Did you know that you can freeze rice? We love the cranberry orange sauce on rice and it’s really easy when you can grab the rice from the freezer.
Some easy veggie ideas include: Steamed Broccoli in the Microwave, Easy Roasted Asparagus Recipe and 10 Minute Roasted Zucchini Recipe.
If you are feeling fancy, garnish with orange slices. So pretty! It is also good served with a small bowl of cranberry sauce.
You need a good crock pot.
You’ll need a Crock Pot, obviously! Your Crock Pot doesn’t need to be anything fancy. I have a very basic one like this and it gets the job done well every time.
Another great tip is to use Crock Pot liners, too. I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather spend time playing with my kids after dinner then scrubbing the Crock Pot.

Wow, this was very tasty! Everyone went back for seconds. It makes a wonderful sauce. Definitely making this again. Thanks
Does this need to be cooked before place in the freezer. Or can I put it all together and then freeze to cook for a later day?
I usually place all the ingredients together in a freezer bag and then cook it on a later day.
Would a pork butt roast work out ok?
Yes, I think that would work great in this recipe.
what size can of cranberry sauce? This sounds SO delicious!
I used a 14 oz can for this recipe.
So delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Never made tenderloin before these recipes. So good and the sauces are a big hit!!
OMGOSH! Made this today with mashed potatoes and green beans. It was incredible! Definitely, a great Fall dish, but considering it for Holidays as well.
