Honey Dijon Pork Tenderloin

Was looking for a fast meal since we had plans tonight - so gotta love the crock pot!!  Just put this in before I left for work - and it was ready to go by the time we came home!  We ate this with garlic mashed potatoes and the carrots (recipe below).  Super easy - YUM!!

Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 ½ to 2 lbs pork tenderloin
½ teas salt
¼ teas pepper
1/2c balsamic vinegar
3 Tbl honey
1 Tbl Dijon mustard
½ teas dried leaf thyme
Dash garlic powder

Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper – place in slow cooker

In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients; pour over pork, turning pork to coat all sides.  Cover and cook on LOW 7-8 hours (HIGH 3.5 – 4hrs).  On my crock pot - it really only took about 6 hours on low.

Carrots
Makes 2 servings

1 1/2 cup carrots
1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
2 1/4 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar

Heat oil - saute carrots till tender.  (Make sure to continue to stir - or they will burn...)  Then just stir in vinegar and brown sugar - and serve!
