Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin with Garlic Noodles

One of the best crock pot noodle recipes you’ll ever try. 

Hooray! My birthday week is finally here and I made this seriously awesome pork tenderloin with garlic noodles in my new birthday crock pot (thanks Mom!) to celebrate. I’m writing this post from chilly Michigan where I’ll be celebrating my birthday on a TV commercial set. Work rests for no one! Luckily my birthday twin and occasional co-worker, Tommy is also here so I’ll have someone to celebrate with.

Crock pot/slow cooker meals are perfect for cold weather or busy days, both of which I’m dealing with right now. I realized a little too late that I could have easily made a few crock pot meals for The Hubs to heat up while I’m out of town. I guess he’ll have to get by on pizza and buffalo wings as per usual. Next time Hubs. Next time.

Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin with Garlic Noodles

There’s nothing better than coming home on a chilly evening to the smell of dinner that’s been simmering away all day. Fortunately, even though its cold outside in Michigan, I probably won’t have to go outside too much, alleviating my craving for that comforting slow cooker smell. Besides, it would be weird to slow cook something in a hotel room…..or would it?

I’ll save the rest of my slow cooker ideas for when I get home from this work trip.

In the meantime please enjoy this pork tenderloin with garlic noodles dish I made before I left. It was hearty, delicious and a major fave of my pasta loving Hubs. I do wish I had this going in my hotel room right about now.
