Slow Cooker Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin

This is the second time I have made this pork and it is seriously amazing. We never have leftovers and that really says a lot! As a mom of a little one the crock pot is such a life saver. I just put the pork in the cooker in the morning and it's ready by dinner time! The hardest part is brushing on the glaze and really how hard is that? I love that this dish can also be Dukan by switching regular brown sugar for the brown sugar blend. It has so much flavor and you still stay focused on the diet! I look at that as a win win.
