Honey Butter Pork Tenderloin

I actually have another recipe to blog about as well, but I will save that for a later day.  For dinner tonight we had Honey Butter Pork Tenderloin.  Oh my!!!  It was so yummy!  I get so excited about recipes especially cuts of meat that have this awesome sauce on it, only to be disappointed when I take a bite and the flavor doesn't carry thru.  Obviously, this is not an operator error, so it must be a recipe error!  Anyway, I made this recipe in my crock pot today and was anything but disappointed.  It was so good (probably the butter!).   The original is an oven recipe, but seriously, who has time to stand in the kitchen to brown the meat and to get it coated well and yadda yadda!  Not me!  I have walls that need to be painted and laundry to do and recipes to pin.  You get the picture.  The other good thing about this recipe is that it has few ingredients and goes together very easily!  I hope you enjoy it as much as we did (all three kids ate it!)

Honey Butter Pork Tenderloin

6 T honey
2 T butter
1 1/2 lb boneless pork tenderloin
1/2 t Cajun seasoning (I didn't have any so I added a pinch of salt, paprika, oregano and cayenne pepper) 
1/2 t pepper

I am going to write down what I did (this is for my friends that don't like a lot of steps!  You know who you are)  If you want the oven variation you can always go to the original website.

Place honey and butter into a crock pot.  Rub pepper and Cajun seasoning over meat.  Place tenderloin into crock pot and cook on low.  About an hour into the process, I turned the meat over to make sure the butter and honey was on both sides!  Then cook for another 3-4 hours or until cooked thru.
