Instructions

    • 1

      Decide how many people you'll be serving or how many dinners you want to get out of this before you purchase the meat. One pork tenderloin is about 6-8 servings. You can cook up to two at a time if you have a 5 gallon crock pot.

    • 2

      Buy the pork tenderloins, rootbeer (12 oz/tenderloin) you can buy cans, but usually a half gallon is cheaper, a large bottle of your favorite bbq sauce, and sandwich rolls.

    • 3

      Cut the tenderloins in half so they fit more easily in the crockpot. Place them in the crock pot.

    • 4

      Pour the Rootbeer over the tenderloins. Use 12 oz of rootbeer per tenderloin. If you don't have enough rootbeer you can use cola to fill out the recipe.

    • 5

      Set the crock pot to low heat and cook the tenderloins in the rootbeer for about 7 hours. Or until they easily fall apart when shredded with a fork.

    • 6

      Shred the meat with a fork, making sure all large pieces are broken up. Stir the meat to absorb the soda.

    • 7

      Pour the bottle of bbq sauce over the meat, while it's still in the crock pot. You can use the entire bottle of sauce, or put on more or less depending on how much you prefer.

    • 8

      Serve the pulled pork on toasted rolls.

    • 9

      Since you'll most likely have leftovers, you can easily freeze and store the extras for fast future dinners. Put individual portions, or enough for one dinner for your entire family into a ziplock bag. Freeze.

Tips & Warnings

  • This recipe is great for parties since it can easily serve a crowd. Four extra large tenderloins can serve 30-40 people. Make the recipe a day ahead, using several crock pots. Put the meat in aluminum pans, cover and refrigerate overnight. A few hours before you serve it, warm it in the oven on 250 degrees. Remix the meat and place it over sternos to keep warm!

  • You'll be forced to make this all the time since everyone will love it!
