Pork tenderloin with a sweet and spicy flavor - that is what I've created. Let the Crock Pot do the work for you in this simple recipe.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Sweet and sour, this pork tenderloin has a bit of a kick! The pork itself is super tender and juicy. After simmering in the slow cooker, the flavors of the sauce are fantastic. So simple and delicious, this is a slow cooker dinner everyone will ask for seconds of.
