Crock Pot Balsamic Pork Roast

I've posted a lot of pork recipes lately.  I think I have a little bit of an obsession.  This particular recipe is from skinnytaste.com and it could not be simpler.  Just put the pork in your crock pot, season it and add a flavorful sauce on top.  Cook all day, shred and you have an awesome main dish that you've hardly broken a sweat for!  I served this with cheesy broccoli quinoa for a complete meal.  Enjoy!

Crock Pot Balsamic Pork Roast (adapted from skinnytaste.com)

2 lb. boneless pork loin
1 t. salt
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. crushed red pepper
1/3 c. chicken broth
1/3 c. balsamic vinegar
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 T. low sodium
soy sauce
1 T. honey

Place the pork in a 4 qt. slow cooker that has been sprayed with cooking spray.  In a small bowl mix together the salt, garlic powder and crushed red pepper.  Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly all over the pork roast.  In a medium bowl combine the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire, soy sauce and honey and whisk to combine.  Pour the sauce into the slow cooker.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.  When the pork is cooked break it into chunks and leave it in the slow cooker for a few minutes to soak up some of the delicious sauce.
