Trey's bacon wrapped, rosemary pork tenderloin!

My fiance rocks. He is seriously good at everything he does, especially cooking. This morning he woke up, fed our daughter, prepared the tenderloin in the slow cooker, ate breakfast, got ready for work, and took off for a full day of wheeling and dealing. Then he came home from work, played with our baby girl, gave her a bath, fed her, read her a book (sometimes with a British accent), and put her to bed.  Yes, I am one lucky girl.

He came up with this yumminess on his own. No recipe, no guidelines. Just a Southern boy and his first class palate!


I don't have a proper recipe for this, since Trey just threw everything
in the crock pot, but here are some guidelines:

2lbs pork tenderloin (or enough to cover the bottom of the crock pot)
1 1/2 cup beef broth (or chicken broth)
6 strips uncooked bacon
4-5 carrots, chopped
4-5 sticks organic celery, chopped
3 sprigs rosemary
5 whole cloves garlic

Trey first browned both sides of the pork in a sauce pan. Then he placed the rosemary on each one, and wrapped it in bacon. He then placed the meat in the crock pot, added the garlic cloves, and poured the beef broth on top. He cooked the pork on LOW for 8 hours. With 2 hours remaining, so 6 hours into cooking, he added carrots, celery and potatoes. Serve. It will fall apart with a touch of a fork. So flavorful, especially with the sauce poured on top of the meat. Can't wait to have leftovers tomorrow.
