Root Beer Pulled Pork

 Pulled pork is one of my favorite meals that I can make one day and make it into something else the next.  I cook the pork in the slow cooker, shred it, then split it up into freezer bags in dinner serving sizes. Another thing I like about this is, out of a 2.5 lb pork tenderloin I get 3 dinners out of it. Plus if I can keep an eye out for when it goes on sale, it makes for a super cheap dinner.

Here is the recipe:

1 (2lb) Pork Tenderloin
1- 12 oz can Root Beer

Directions:
1) Put pork tenderloin in slow cooker.
2) Pour root beer all over and cover with a lid. Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours.
3) Once cooked, drain and remove root beer from slow cooker. Shred pork and separate into meal size portions (2/3). Place 1/3 back into slow cooker on warm and pour in bbq sauce. Heat for 20-30 min.

Whats for Dinner? --

I've been wanting to make pulled pork lately.  I've really been wanting to try the spicy Dr. Pepper pulled pork.  So, I finally made it Meijer today and got pork shoulder.  Im not a very good at meat purchases so we will see how this goes.  I am going to take The Pioneer Woman's recommendation and just use half a can of the chipotle peppers.  I dont want it spicy for the boys.  I normally just make my own homemade barbeque sauce but we are going to see how this is.  

I am going to cook mine in the crockpot with a crockpot liner.
