You can shred pork loin to make a massive batch of pulled pork great for cook-outs, potlucks, parties for a sizable group, or for lunches and dinners — with plenty of extras to freeze and reheat. This dish can be served by itself or "sloppy joe" style on hamburger buns.
Ingredients
- 3 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloins
- 4 cups chopped onions
- 1 (18 ounce) bottle hickory smoke-flavored barbecue sauce
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- ½ (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle diet pepper-type soda (such as Diet Dr Pepper®)
- ¼ cup reduced-sodium Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Cut each pork tenderloin into 4 pieces and place into a slow cooker; set to High.
Step 2
Stir onions, barbecue sauce, crushed tomatoes, diet soda, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, liquid smoke flavoring, paprika, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl; pour mixture over pork tenderloin pieces. Cover and cook until tenderloin pieces begin to shred at the edges, 3 to 4 hours.
Step 3
Shred meat using 2 forks; reduce slow cooker setting to Low and cook 1 more hour.
Tips
Substitute any other diet soda; the soda is used as a substitute for brown sugar.
