Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin

A friend posted this on her Facebook profile, and I had to try it. We had a large family dinner party and a 7 lbs. pork tenderloin roast. I doubled the sauce recipe, and it turned out beautifully. The meat was tender and juicy, a feat difficult to accomplish with a pork roast.

Ingredients
2 lbs. pork tenderloin
1/4 C soy sauce
1 Tbl yellow mustard
2-3 Tbl maple syrup
2 Tbl olive oil
2 tbl diced dried onions
1-1/2 large garlic cloves, minced

Place the roast in your crockpot, fat side up.

Mix all other ingredients together.

Pour over Tenderloin in the crock pot, cover, and cook on low for 6 hours.

Enjoy!

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Tuesdays are a little crazy at our house. My husband picks up the kids from their mom's for dinner, and because Tuesday is my really late night for teaching, starts making dinner around 6:00 or 6:30. The other day, we talked about doing more crock pot meals on Tuesdays to make it easier for everyone. My stepson immediately suggested pulled pork sandwiches. Sounded good to us.

Ingredients:
6 buns
2-3 lb. pork loin roast
16-oz. barbecue sauce
salt & pepper to taste

Put the roast in your crock pot and season with salt and pepper. Cover with barbecue sauce. Cook on low for 8 hours. Stir with fork to break up meat until it's as chunky or pulled as you want. Cook for additional 2 hours so the flavor gets all through the meat.

Serve on buns.
