No secret here – I love a crock pot meal.

I love them even more now that I have started using crock pot liners! They make easy, easier!!

I don’t know about you but I absolutely despise scrubbing all the cooked on mess off! It really needs to soak off but I hate leaving things soaking in the sink. I want it all cleaned up and put away, right away.

Definitely my OCD coming out. An affliction that has been greatly tested with an 8 month old. 🙂

(adapted from Food52)

Pork

• 2 pounds Pork Tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon Ground Sage
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Pepper

• 1/2 cup Water

Glaze

• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 white sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
• 1/2 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce

Mix together sage, salt, pepper and garlic. Rub onto tenderloin and place in crockpot with 1/2 cup of water. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours.

With about 45 minutes left to cook, preheat oven to 350º and mix together glaze ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium/low heat until thickened. Remove pork loin and place in oven safe dish and spread half the glaze onto pork and cook in oven for around 15-20 or until glaze starts to firm up.
