Honey Pork Roast

• 
  
• Another crockpot recipe to add to my list.  I didn't add as much oregano(preference) and didn't add the Parmesan cheese.  It didn't seem to go with this recipe IMO.  

Make it to you and your families taste preferences. Oregano has never been a favorite of mine.  I think it can overpower a recipe so I always cut back on it slightly.  

It could be my memory of oregano goes back to when I was a young girl and we had a pizza restaurant  next to where my family had a small grocery store.  We ordered pizza from there frequently cause who doesn't like pizza lol.  Anyway for some reason on the table would be large shaker bottles with oregano in them and I used to load my slice with a lot of it.  Why?  I don't have a clue other than it seemed to be what we did at that time so now I don't like it.  I guess that's the best explanation I can give you. 

I adapted this recipe to our likes.  I only had (one ) 1 pound tenderloin and I did not add oregano.  We do not care for the intense flavor.  Be careful and adjust your amounts if necessary.

Thank followed this recipe and adjusted amounts to size if my tenderloin and I also added 1/4 of a green pepper to add to our taste.  I also am serving buttered carrots and rice with this meal.
