I posted this photo to Facebook and Twitter last week and I had a few requests for this recipe. I grew up loving pot roast. It is/was one of my favorite meals on a cold day. Since going healthy, I knew I couldn't eat typical pot roast all the time since it isn't as good for me so I decided to try pork tenderloin pot roast.
Pork tenderloin is really lean and this recipe is extra easy. What you will need:
Pork Tenderloin (I typically buy a two pack)
Russet potatoes (7 or more if desired)
1 Onion
1 Large bag of baby carrots
Season Salt
Garlic Powder
Cinnamon
Pepper
Brown Sugar
Chicken Broth Reduced Fat
A Crock Pot
First cut your onion and place half of it in the bottom of the crock pot, then place 1/2 a bag of the carrots in the crock pot, and then 3 1/2 potatoes. I then season the pork by sprinkling it with garlic powder, season salt, cinnamon, and pepper. Then cut the pork into 2-3 inch sections. Place half the pork tenderloin on top of the carrots and potatoes then layer again with potatoes, carrots, and pork. Fill the crock pot with water and about 1/2 cup of chicken broth and add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
Put the crock pot on low and let it cook for 8 hours or until tender. I served it with 6 ounces of pork, 1 cup of carrots, and 1 cup of potatoes for 9 points. This meal is simple and easy and very low points.
