This Sauce Is The Boss

I was really busy the other day, my youngest is going off to France for the whole semester of her Junior year,  and we had to get a lot of last minute things that she needed to take with her.  Whew! It's all done now and all she has to do is pack her bags. I am going to miss her terribly!  So, before we left on our shopping trip, I needed to decide what to make for dinner that would be quick.  She takes forever to shop and I new we would be out all day.  I had taken a pork loin out of the freezer the day before and had it thawing in the refrigerator.  I figured the best way to cook it, while we were out and about, was to put it in the crock pot and make pulled pork sandwiches.  This is how I made it, recipe below.

Three ingredients to make the sweetest tasting pulled pork you'll ever eat!  Pour that root beer right over it.

 Sprinkle on the pork seasoning.  It doesn't look very pretty while it's cooking, but you will be surprised at the flavor when it's done.

 It's done, and the hardest part is shredding it, which isn't really hard, it take less than 5 minutes.

 Put that pork on a crusty roll, top with provolone cheese and some slaw, add a kosher pickle and some chips and you got yourself a delightful, barely any hands on cooking, meal.

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Ingredients

1 - 2 lb. pork tenderloin

1 - 12 oz. bottle root beer

1 1/2 cups of Sweet Baby Rays Honey Barbecue Sauce, more if you like it really wet

1 1/2 teaspoons of McCormick Pork Seasoning

8 crusty Kaiser rolls

8 slices of provolone cheese

1/2 lb. container of stringy cole slaw

Directions

Unwrap the pork tenderloin and put into the bowl of a crock pot.  Pour the root beer over the top and sprinkle on the seasoning. Turn the pork over. Set the crock pot to high, put the lid on and let cook for
4-5 hours.  When pork is tender and falling apart, lift it out of the bowl and onto a cutting board. Drain all but about a cup of liquid from the bowl.  With two forks, pull the pork apart shredding it.  Return to the bowl with the liquid.  Reduce crockpot temperature to low.  Pour in the barbecue sauce and toss with the pork. Let cook for another 30 minutes. Top each bun with pulled pork, provolone cheese and cole slaw.  Makes 8 - 10 servings.
