Crockpot pork & potatoes

I found this recipe from the Southern Food website and adapted it a bit.


INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds pork tenderloin or roast, cut into 3/4-inch thick pieces
1 1/2 lbs chopped potatoes (I slice them in 1/2 lengthwise then slice about 4-6 pieces from there)
1/2 onion, chopped
2 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes, optional
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
PREPARATION:
Spray crockpot with cooking spray or lightly oil. Combine pork, potatoes & onion. Combine tomatoes with brown sugar, cinnamon, parsley, and black pepper; pour over pork mixture in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW setting for 8 to 10 hours. Stir to mix before serving.Serves 4 to 6.
