Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin Use 1 or 2 pieces; if using two, lay them side by side and tuck the thinner ends underneath.
  • 1 jar Alfredo sauce 15- to 16-ounce jar; use whatever kind your family likes.
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 cloves garlic Minced; or use 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Add a little more later if needed.

Instructions
 

  • Place the pork tenderloin in the bottom of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. If using two smaller tenderloins, lay them side by side and tuck the thinner ends underneath so they cook evenly.
  • In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the Alfredo sauce, chicken broth, minced garlic or garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and kosher salt until smooth.
  • Pour the Alfredo mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin, nudging some sauce down around the sides so the pork is mostly covered.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours or on HIGH for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours, until the pork is very tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.
  • Transfer the cooked pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, stir the sauce in the slow cooker until it comes back together into a creamy sauce.
  • Slice or shred the pork, return it to the slow cooker, and gently toss it with the warm creamy garlic sauce.
  • Taste the sauce and add another pinch of salt if needed. Serve hot with sauce spooned over mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, rice, or cauliflower rice.

Notes

Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, keeping the pork tucked into the sauce. Reheat individual portions in the microwave at about 50 percent power, stirring once or twice, or warm larger portions gently in a covered skillet over low heat with a splash of chicken broth if needed. Freezing is not recommended because the creamy jarred sauce can separate.
