Dr Pepper Pulled Pork (take two)

I'm not one to let sleeping dogs (or babies) lie.  So, ever since I made the Spicy Shredded Pork that Maintenance Man liked, but said they were too hot, I've been wanting to try again.

Our local store had pork products on sale, so I bought a pork tenderloin and got another one for 1¢.

Enter...my crock pot.  Here's what you'll need:

4-6 pound Pork Tenderloin

Sea salt and pepper to taste

onion, quartered

ground mustard

garlic powder

brown sugar

apple cider vinegar
Dr Pepper (I've been told you can use any soda, but I lurve DP!)
barbecue sauce

Quarter you onion and place in the bottom of your crock-pot.  Rub the tenderloin with the salt and pepper and place on top of onion.  Pour the Dr. Pepper over the pork.  Mix together the ground mustard, garlic powder, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar. Mix in with the Dr Pepper in the pot.
Cook on low for 2-3 hours.  Flip the loin.  Cook for another 2-3 hours.
Take the pork out of the pot and place on a cutting board. Use 2 forks to shred the pork.
Place the it back into the pot and pour the barbecue sauce over it and mix well.
Cook for an additional hour.
Serve on warm buns and top with cheese.

2 Tbs brown sugar

1 Tbs apple cider vinegar

sea salt and pepper to taste

medium size onion, quartered

1 bottle of barbecue sauce

Directions

Place quartered onion in the bottom of the crock pot.  Rub salt and pepper over tenderloin and place on top of onions.  Pour 1 can of Dr Pepper over the pork.
Mix the mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder and apple cider vinegar together and mix with Dr. Pepper in the pot.
Cook on low for 2-3 hours and flip the loin.
Cook for 2-3 hours more.  Take the tenderloin out and place on a chopping block.  Using 2 forks, shred the pork.  Place it back into the pot and cover with barbecue sauce.  Mix well.  Cook for 1 hour more.
Serve on warm buns and top with cheese.

This was the one!  Maintenance Man loved it!  He told me 'don't change a thing; keep it just the way it is'  Perfect.  {I'm secretly trying to figure a way to keep the chipotle flavor but leave out the heat.}
