Pop Pulled Pork

Pop Pulled Pork

I love pulled pork sandwiches and wraps.  The sweetness from the root beer in this recipe really made the flavors pop!  I like to eat pulled pork on a wrap with a coleslaw mix, but it tastes amazing on a bun too.  This is a perfect meal to throw in a crock pot until you are ready to shred and serve it up. I served this with roasted green beans with a sundried tomato vinaigrette and air fried potatoes.

Ingredients:

2 pounds pork tenderloin

1 onion sliced

1 tablespoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

2 teaspoons garlic powder

8 ounces root beer (or other soda)

12-18 ounces BBQ sauce

Directions:

  1. Spray a slow cooker with nonstick spray.  Spread the sliced onions in the base. 
  2. Place the pork tenderloin on top of the onions and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Pour the soda around the pork.
  4. Top with the BBQ sauce and gently spread the sauce over the tenderloin.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
  6. Use forks or shredders (I have Pampered Chef tools I love) to shred the pork.
  7. Use a slotted spoon to drain excess liquid and serve on buns or wraps.
  8. Enjoy!
