Reheat leftovers on the stovetop on medium heat or single servings in the microwave. If you find that it's a little dry, try adding a little bit of liquid such as chicken broth or water to help thin the gravy.

Do I need to add liquid to slow cooker pork?

The only liquid that you need to use in this crock pot pork tenderloin recipe is from the gravy. The rest of the liquid will come from the meat and vegetables as it cooks.

Should you sear pork before slow cooking?

I didn't, but you can if you prefer. Season the pork, and then sear it on all sides in a large skillet with a drizzle of olive oil.
