We recommend cooking the pork tenderloin on low instead of on cook on high. We like to be able to slice the pork tenderloin and cooking on low allows you to do so.
Cook the Pork Tenderloins on low for about 4 hours or until pork is finished cooking. We recommend using a meat thermometer to ensure your pork is cook before serving. The pork is finished cooking when it reaches 145 degrees.

- Cream of Soups – This recipe would be great with cream of chicken or mushroom soups. Just substitute the teriyaki sauce with one of these soups and the meal is so creamy. If you need a little more liquid, pour in some chicken broth.
- Add in Soy Sauce – We love soy sauce. Adding it with the teriyaki sauce makes this almost an Asian Recipe taste. We also like to add in balsamic vinegar.
- Brown Sugar – You can add in a tablespoon of brown sugar for a hint of sweetness to the recipe.
- Marinate – If you prefer, you can marinate the pork tenderloin for 30 minutes prior to adding to the slow cooker.

This recipe is amazing and easy. i prepared everything the night before and in the morning I combined all the ingredients and put them in the crock pot, turned it on and we had dinner when I got home! It was sooooo good!
do you have a recipe for homemade teriyaki sauce ? I need to make this tomorrow and can’t go shopping.
Sorry, I don’t at this time. Thank you.
I forgot the garlic but it turned out awesome! This recipe is a keeper so easy!
Thank you!
This is so easy to make when craving a crockpot warm hearty dish!
My significant other loves this dish!
Flavors were great, everybody loved it! However, my sauce didn’t really thicken up much (if at all). When you add the cornstarch and water mixture, and remove the lid, should you turn the heat off or leave it going? I left mine on without the lid. I’m wondering if that was the problem. Also, about how long should it take at that point? Thank you, can’t wait to try it again!
GREAT Recipe. I only added more fresh garlic and I made more gravy. Served with Brussel Sprouts – mmmmmmmmmmmmmm good. TYFS
Nate, if you’re still on here. I had to ladle the juices out and make my gravy. Mine never thickened either. Hope this helps.
