Ingredients

3 pounds Pork Loin or Pork Tenderloin
18 ounces Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce (1 bottle)
1 1/2 cups Coca-Cola (one 12 ounce can) - Dr. Pepper or Root Beer can be substituted.
½ White Onion sliced (optional)

Instructions

Gather your bbq pulled pork ingredients.
If using sliced onions, first place on the bottom of slow cooker.
If you have two smaller tenderloins, place in slow cooker. If you have one large tenderloin, cut your pork loin in half across width, trimming off any excess fat, and place the two pieces in your slow cooker. (or on top of sliced onions if using onions.)
Mix together BBQ Sauce and Coca-Cola in mixing bowl and stir well.
Pour BBQ Sauce and Coca-Cola mixture over Pork, and cover slow cooker.
Cook on LOW for 6 – 7 hours, or until done. (larger pieces will take longer to cook)
Remove from slow cooker, and shred on cutting board using 2 forks.
Then place shredded meat back in slow cooker, and toss with tongs to soak up all of that delicious sauce.
Serve on plates, burger buns, or slider buns, and drizzle with extra leftover sauce from the crockpot after shredded to keep moist. ENJOY!
