Ingredients

1 lb pork tenderloin (1 tenderloin)
1 tsp olive oil
½ onion (diced)
8 oz barbecue sauce
4 sandwich rolls

Instructions

Begin by removing the silver tendon on the back of the pork tenderloin. Slide a small, sharp knife just under the silver (sharp edge facing the skinny side of the tenderloin) and cut until you reach the end of the silver. Then, hold the silver sliver that is no longer attached with one hand and cut the opposite way lifting the knife as you go to avoid cutting into the pork. Repeat this until all of the silver is cut away.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Brown each side of the pork tenderloin for about a minute just enough to sear the outside. Place on a cutting board and slice tenderloin into 1 inch slices. It will still be raw in the middle.
Place pork pieces in a slow cooker and stir in diced onions and barbecue sauce. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. When pork is cooked through and tender, carefully shred into small pieces with 2 forks.
Serve on toasted sandwich rolls topped with more barbecue sauce, coleslaw, or cheese! Yum!

Notes

- To serve 8, use 2 pork tenderloins (about 2 pounds), 1 whole onion and 12 ounces of barbecue sauce. Keep the cook time the same.

- Use whichever barbecue sauce you prefer. I like to use thinner sauces since the thicker sauces can burn more easily.

- You can easily substitute boneless chicken for the pork, just keep the weight similar.
- Nutritional information does not include toppings.
