Root Beer Pulled Pork Sliders

I have found a recent love of my slow cooker. Because of the schedule I work, coming home at nine o clock and dreading the fact that I then have to spend at least an hour making something to eat, used to upset me. But no more...no more, friends. Because now whenever a day comes along when a lack a little energy and hope to head to bed early, I know my dear friend, the slow cooker, is there to help. And every time (so far) I take a chance on it, great things happen.

So, without further a-do, another easy delish treat from the kitchen of M. Suzanne, I give you:

Root Beer Pulled Pork Sliders

You will need:
1lb. pork tenderloin
6 oz. barbecue sauce (whatever barbecue sauce your heart desires, I almost always use Cookie's, unless I make my own)
One bottle of Root Beer (don't skimp out with canned or generic root beer. Find the bottle that looks old fashioned, something with a cowboy on it, next to the sarsaparilla)
Hamburger slider buns (I used wheat slider bun because it complimented the taste of the pork.

What you'll need to do:
1.Place pork tenderloin in your slow cooker. Pour the root beer over the meat.
2. Cover and cook on low until cooked through and the pork shreds easily with a fork. It should take about 6-7 hours.
3. Remove the pork and drain it well.
4. Shred the pork and then mix in the barbeque sauce.
5. Pile high on the slider buns and eat.
6. If you want to get a little fancy you could always add a few caramelized onions or any sort of toppings, but I'm a purest myself when it comes to barbecue.

I served them with fresh cut green beans and mashed potatoes. But really, you could serve it with anything. Coleslaw, macaroni salad, whatever you want.

This dish is easy and yummy. And if you double the recipe you'll have leftovers for sandwiches to send the kids, hubbie, boyfriend, or yourself to school or work with.

And there you have it. Another easy fall dinner from the kitchen of M. Suzanne.
