Sweet and Smoky Pulled Pork Loin
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
  • 1/2 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle diet pepper-type soda (such as Diet Dr Pepper®)
  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
1
Divide the pork tenderloin into four equal portions and place them in a slow cooker. Set the slow cooker to its highest heat setting immediately.
2
In a separate bowl, combine the chopped onions, barbecue sauce, crushed tomatoes, diet soda, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, liquid smoke flavoring, paprika, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour this mixture over the pork tenderloin pieces in the slow cooker.
3
Cover the slow cooker and let it cook for several hours, or until the pork tenderloin pieces start to break apart at the edges. This should take around 3-4 hours.
4
Once the pork tenderloin pieces have broken apart, use two forks to shred them into smaller pieces.
5
Reduce the slow cooker's heat setting to its lowest level and continue cooking for an additional hour.
