Pork Tenderloin in the Crock Pot

Oh how I love this recipe. It's so tasty, so delish, and perfect for the cooler weather. It's my mom's recipe so of course it's so good. Please bear with me because I never measure the ingredients for this recipe and you don't need to. Those of you who need to, just try it this way and it will be ok.

INGREDIENTS:
- Pork Tenderloin
- Hellman's Mayonnaise,
- Dijon mustard
- Honey
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- Pepper

1. Set the crock pot to low and set it for at least 6-8 hours. Perfect for a "before you leave for work" kinda thing. In the bottom of the crock pot spoon a heaping glob (yes, I believe that is a measure word) of mayonnaise using a large spoon from your silverware drawer. Rinse off that spoon and use it to measure out the dijon mustard. Don't make it so heaping, but do make it a glob. Place the pork on top of that. Drizzle the honey over the loins, about 1 Tbsp worth. Press your garlic and place that on the pork. Season with pepper. You don't really need salt because the pork is already salty, but add some if you wish. Now take that spoon and smother the mayo/mustard mixture over the top of the pork so it can all marinate. Put the lid on and come back when your hungry for dinner. The meat will just fall apart with the touch of a fork. It's beautiful and so tasty.
Serve the pork with your favorite side dishes; rice, couscous (from a box) or potatoes, and some yummy veggies!
