Tenderloin in the Crock

This is so good.  So, so good, your family will be psyched the minute the smell the awesome aroma when they walk in the door.

I'm not a big meat and potatoes kind a girl, but my family is, and I have to say, I think it's one of those comfort foods we love on a Monday night.  So instead of meatless Monday, I do comfort food Monday and leave the meat out on at least 1 other day each week.

I'm also not a pork eating girl but my family loves pork chops (if I can find humanely raised organic pork), so when we were out at Fairway last week right after Hannah got her braces off,  I spotted an organic pork loin, and grabbed it as they do get tired of the same chicken and turkey and occasional beef every week.  So here is a recipe I found and you really have to try it.  You can use any kind of meat I believe, but here it is with pork.

Balsamic Pork Tenderloin 

Serves 6-8

total time:  4 hours 5 mins

  • 1 2-3 pound boneless pork tenderloin
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup basalmic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1  tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions:

1.  Place the pork tenderloin in the slow cooker.  Mix together all the remaining ingredients.  Pour over the pork and set the timer.  4 hours on high or 6-8 on low.
2.  After the pork has cooked, remove from slow cooker and pull apart.
3.  Serve sauce over each serving.

Done.  Sorry no pictures as we ate it up really fast as it was time to get to the next practice.  Suggestion:  serve over mashed potatoes (I actually got a "this is really good mom" comment from both kids and rave reviews from Bry).

Welcome to my Blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog ... I decided to write it as there were many concerned friends and family that needed to learn about this phase of my life - leading up to surgery on February 8th. I have now had the surgery and am recovering here at home. I love all your comments! They make me smile and I am so truly inspired by them! I can not believe how much support there is out there...it matters so much to us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
