Ingredients
- 1-2 lbs pork tenderloin
- 1 Tb olive oil
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 Tb brown sugar
- 1 Tb paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker by coating it lightly with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin, coating all sides.
- Place the sliced onion and garlic cloves in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Set the seasoned pork tenderloin on top of the onions and garlic.
- Pour the chicken broth around the pork.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the pork is very tender.
- Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
- Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir in the BBQ sauce.
- Let the pork rest on warm for 10 minutes before serving so it absorbs the sauce.
Notes
- If you want to deepen the flavor, lightly sear the pork in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the pork for doneness; it is ready when the temperature reads at least 145°F.
- To thicken the sauce, allow the pork to cook uncovered for the last 20-30 minutes on high.
