Slow Cooker Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin

From Bytes to Bites blog http://bytestobites.wordpress.com/2012/04/21/slow-cooker-teriyaki-pork-tenderloin/

and originally from All Recipes.com

I am a sucker for those Pork Tenderloins at Costco so I was excited to try this recipe.  It came together quickly and smelled great while cooking.


The verdict?

Meh.

The pork was over done.  My fault for just walking away for the 6 hour cooking time instead of checking it.  :)   Aside from that - the sauce was ok but not awesome.  Mr Picky and Little Miss Almost Vegetarian wouldn't try the sauce at all but liked the meat.

We found that the meat just didn't take on the flavour of the sauce like it does in my favorite pork tenderloin recipe http://familysquabbles.blogspot.ca/2011/01/pork-tenderloin.html   I'm thinking that I should have tried Bytes to Bites author's modifications instead of making the original recipe.

I still have 2 pork tenderloins in the freezer so I will keep my eye out for something to-die-for.
