My slow cooker pineapple pork recipe is packed full of savory and sweet flavor and is just what you need for a busy weeknight. I made it with just 4 ingredients so it’s fast and easy to put together.

This pineapple pork is one of my favorite slow cooker meals. I love the the combination of the spicy black pepper with the sweet pineapple. The pork tenderloin is perfectly tender and full of flavor.

I tried this crockpot recipe when I was short on ingredients and time. I often have a pre-marinated pork tenderloin in the refrigerator because my kids love it and it’s easy to make. They were wanting something a little different and thats how this recipe was born.

Crockpot pineapple pork ingredients

It doesn’t get more simple than 4 ingredients.

• Pork tenderloin – I like using a pre-marinated pork tenderloin like this garlic and cracked black pepper pork tenderloin. It helps to add lots of flavor.
• Pineapple tidbits – You can use pineapple tidbits or pineapple chunks. You will want to include the juice in the can.
• Brown sugar – This adds a hint of sweetness to balance out the pork and soy sauce.
• Soy sauce – Use 1/4 cup soy sauce. If you want to cut back on salt, you can substitute with the low sodium soy sauce.
