Recipe Summary Sweet And Smoky Slow-Cooked Pulled Pork Loin

This makes a massive batch of pulled pork that is great for cook-outs, potlucks, parties for a sizable group, or for lunches and dinners with plenty of extras to freeze and reheat. Substitute any other diet soda; the soda is used as a substitute for brown sugar. Dish can be served by itself or 'sloppy joe' style on hamburger buns.

3 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloins

4 cups chopped onions

1 (18 ounce) bottle hickory smoke-flavored barbecue sauce

¼ cup reduced-sodium Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons minced garlic

2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Cut each pork tenderloin into 4 pieces and place into a slow cooker; set to High.

Stir onions, barbecue sauce, crushed tomatoes, diet soda, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, liquid smoke flavoring, paprika, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl; pour mixture over pork tenderloin pieces. Cover and cook until tenderloin pieces begin to shred at the edges, 3 to 4 hours.
