Sweet and Easy Pulled Pork

Tonight Rob and I had pulled pork tenderloin. I have to say that I cannot take credit for this recipe... Becca made it once and I was hooked and have made it a few times since. Here is what you need:

Ingredients:

Crockpot (Maxi-Matic MST-800V Elite Gourmet Large 8-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker, Stainless)
About 1 lb. of Pork Tenderloin
1/2-1 cup of Root Beer (Thomas Kemper Root Beer, 6pk)
1/4 cup Water
Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce ( Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce - 2/40oz)

Get out your crockpot and turn it to high. Place your pork tenderloin into the crockpot (after washing and drying of course). Pour Root Beer into crock pot, pork tenderloin SHOULD NOT be covered (it will not look like enough liquid but it is). Add a little (1/4 cup max) water. Cover and let this cook on high for about 6 hours (no less than 5.5 hours). After 6 hours remove cover from crockpot and pour out excess Root Beer. Once Root Beer is gone, leave the tenderloin in the crockpot and pull it apart with a fork and knife. Once pulled apart, cover with some BBQ sauce (it should not be sopping wet with BBQ but also not dry... some where in the middle). Mix BBQ sauce so it is evenly combined with meat. That is it, it is that easy to have delicious pulled pork!

I served it in sandwich form on 100 calorie deli-flat bread. I think this is perfect bread for this sandwich because it is just enough bread, almost enough so you don't even notice it.... you can easily focus on the delicious flavor of the pork. We also both had a salad with the sandwich...baby romaine lettuce with red onions and Rob had tomato on his. Yummy yummy!

This is one of the easiest things to make and it comes out with so much flavor for doing so little!
