Chipotle Crusted Pork Tenderloin

This pork was packed with spice.. its amazing! The chipotle rub gave it a great smokey flavor and the brown sugar gave just the right amount of sweetness. This rub would be awesome on chicken too. I think I will try it on chicken and throw it on the George Foreman. The pork was rated a 10! A great marinade rub for future meals.

* 1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
* 1 onion, chopped
* 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
* 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

*** I sauteed the onions and mushrooms with two garlic cloves minced and a little white wine. Then I browned the pork chops and threw everything into the crock pot for 4 hrs. I added 1/2 C. White wine and 1/2 C of milk into the crock pot also. Great served over potatoes.***
