Known as ‘The Christmas Showstopper,’ it’s been the centerpiece of three family gatherings this week alone!

There’s something magical about coming home to the comforting aroma of a slow-cooked meal. This Maple Dijon Pork Tenderloin is a favorite in our household, especially during those chilly Midwest evenings. The combination of sweet maple syrup and tangy Dijon mustard creates a perfect balance of flavors that makes this dish both elegant and comforting. It’s a lifesaver for busy weekdays when you want something delicious but don’t have the time to stand over the stove.

This tender pork pairs beautifully with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad. For a heartier meal, serve it alongside creamy mashed potatoes or fluffy rice to soak up the delicious sauce. Don’t forget a slice of crusty bread to mop up every last drop!

Slow Cooker Maple Dijon Pork Tenderloin

Servings: 4

Ingredients

2 pork tenderloins (about 1.5 pounds total)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Place the pork tenderloins in the slow cooker.

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

Pour the maple Dijon mixture over the pork tenderloins, ensuring they are well coated.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the pork is tender and cooked through.

Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve the sliced pork with the sauce from the slow cooker drizzled over the top.

Variations & Tips

For a bit of heat, add a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the pork once cooked and transfer the sauce to a saucepan. Simmer on the stove until it reduces to your desired consistency. You can also substitute honey for maple syrup if you prefer a different kind of sweetness. For a more herbaceous flavor, add a teaspoon of dried thyme or rosemary to the sauce.
