The recipe is called Balsamic Pork Tenderloin but I have also used pork shoulder and it is works great! The most important step is really the low and slow cooking fo the meat to break down into tender juicy meat so any pork or beef would work for this recipe.

One of the most important things I try to do with my recipes is make them easy and full of flavor. This is one of my top recipes because the end result is so delectable that people will think you spent all day in the kitchen. But the best part is that it take 5 minutes to throw everything into the slow cooker and let it do the magic. I love to make these delicious Brussels Sprouts from The Lazy Slow Cooker to go with them!
