Slow Cooker BBQ Pork Tenderloin

Fork tender BBQ Pork Tenderloin covered in my homemade dry rub, slow cooked, brushed with BBQ sauce then shredded for the most delicious BBQ shredded pork sandwiches or to eat with a fork like we did.

In a small bowl combine the brown sugar,
garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika.

Use your fingers and mix the dry
rub well, breaking up any clumps.

Rinse the pork with water and pat dry with paper towel.

Rub olive oil all over the pork.

Pat the dry rub on the pork,
completely covering all of the meat.

Place 1/2 cup of water in the slow cooker then add the pork.

Cook on high for 3-1/2 hours.

Heavily cover the pork with your favorite BBQ sauce.
I find Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce is perfect with my
dry rub. Continue to slow cook for 30 – 45 minutes.

Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred
it with a fork, it should fall apart easily. Add more
BBQ sauce to your liking then serve on a bun or
as is with a fork like we did.

I used to buy that tub of pulled beef or pork BBQ but stopped as it had a lot of sodium. Yours looked much better. I can hardly wait Diane. (Hopefully the laptop is off the stove by then – even with the computer debacle, there it sits ….)

I use this same rub and cook my ribs in the slow cooker….amazing! After the ribs cook I brush them with BBQ sauce and broil them until the BBQ sauce is gooey. I even wrap potatoes in foil and put them in the slow cooker too.
