Pork Tenderloin and Sides

Here is what I cooked for supper last night. All original recipes and something I do plan to repeat.

Pork Tenderloin
For the pork tenderloin I just put the pork tenderloin in the crockpot. I added a can of Dr. Pepper (which honestly didn't do everything that I had hoped), about two cups of water, and a splash of worchestire sauce. I also covered the tenderloin itself with black pepper and a bit of onion powder. I cooked mine on high for about four hours and then turned it down to warm. When plating the meal I first shredded some of the pork. Then I poured some of the cooked apples over the pork and stirred the apples into the cooked pork. Soooooo good.

Apples
I wanted something to spice up the pork so I decided apples. I cut up two apples (one granny smith and one golden delicious). In a small pot I put about 3 tablespoons of butter and 3 heaping teaspoons of sugar. I allowed the butter to begin to melt then added my cut apples. Cooked on low-medium heat until apples were soft.

Potatoes and Bacon
First I cut up two slices of thick cut bacon. I cooked the bacon (on low-medium heat)  in a dutch oven on top of the stove. Once the fat had began to render off the bacon I added a couple tablespoons of butter and allowed it to melt. I then added a splash of balsamic vinegar. Next I added about five potatoes that I had cut into chunks about the size of a half dollar. I peppered the potatoes and then stirred the sauce and bacon mixture so that it coated the potatoes liberally. I then added about 1/4 cup of water and stirred again. Then I put the lid of the dutch oven and cooked the potatoes at 325 for about an hour (until the potatoes were soft).

Additionally I served the meal with green beans (canned from the garden) and some biscuits.
