BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches


     This is only the second time that I have ever made barbecued pulled pork sandwiches.  The first time the recipe had tons of ingredients and didn't turn out so great.  I was pretty disappointed and haven't attempted another pulled pork recipe until now.  I found this excellent recipe from Sweet & Savory and it only has four ingredients, unlike the last one I tried.  And although the recipe title says sandwiches, I had some hot dog buns I needed to use up, so that's how we ate ours!

2½ lbs. boneless pork tenderloin
seasoning salt
12 oz. can of Pepsi (feel free to use a different kind of cola)
12 oz. Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue, more to taste (about ½ of the small 18 oz. bottle)
Hamburger buns or kaiser rolls

     Sprinkle a generous amount of seasoning salt onto the pork and rub it in.  Place the pork in the bottom of the crockpot.  Dump in the Pepsi and barbecue sauce, using a spoon to rub the barbecue sauce over the pork.  Turn the crockpot on low and cook for about 6 hours.  After 3-4 hours, use two forks to pull apart and shred the pork.  Spoon the pork onto your favorite buns or kaiser rolls to make a sandwich.  Makes about 10 servings.
