I have another recipe to share with you today as part of the crock-pot challenge issued by Julie at Peanut Butter Fingers! This is actually from a recipe I found on Julie’s site. I’m a big fan of bbq pulled pork sandwiches — but it seemed like a dish that took a lot of time and some sort of fancy meat cooker to pull off, so it’s always been something I’ve ordered in restaurants but never attempted to make on my own.
That is, until now! Julie’s recipe made it look so easy I had to try it. I am SO glad I did!
This is now one of my go-to crock-pot recipes! And perhaps my favorite part: it only needs TWO ingredients! {Plus whatever else you want to use to dress it up!}
2-ingredient pulled pork in the crock pot
– 1 pork tenderloin {I used one that was about 4 pounds}
– 1 can of low-sodium beef broth
1. Place the pork tenderloin in the crock pot and cover with the beef broth.
2. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours, until pork is cooked through and juicy. Tear it apart with a knife and fork and transfer to a plate for serving.
And that’s it! Here’s what my pork looked like when I arrived home from school:
And it smelled DIVINE! Here’s the result when I turned off the crock pot and transferred the pork to a plate for serving:
Then all I did was plop some pork on a bun, add some Famous Dave’s BBQ Sauce, and I had a delicious homemade dinner to enjoy! The sandwiches paired nice with a light salad and fruit. I’m thinking next time I might add pineapple slices to the top of the pork to make Hawaiian BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches!
Another reason I love this recipe? There’s plenty of leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Score! :)
What are some of your favorite crock-pot recipes? Have any of you made pulled pork in the crock pot before?
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
