Saucy BBQ Shredded Pork

I wanted to make some sandwiches this past weekend using a pork tenderloin that we had in the freezer. Usually I would have made a simple pulled pork with dried onion soup and salt and pepper, but we were hungry for something that was a little more tangy. And by the way the pulled pork made with the dried onion soup mix makes for a delicious sandwich; it one of my favorite ways to make it.

I have been making my own barbecue sauce for years, but I decided to experiment and try a few different ingredients with the ones that I normally use. And of late I have found that I like adding a little yellow mustard to my tomato based sauces such as barbecue sauces, for a little extra tang.
As I was writing about the yellow mustard I was thinking of when Mike and I first got married many years ago; whenever we had the pork and beans (the canned ones) he would always add a little yellow mustard to them for more flavor. So I am surprised that I didn’t think of this sooner.
I made this in my crock pot, but it would be perfect made in the oven. If you make it in the oven I would cook it slowly on a 300 to 325 degree F.
Saucy BBQ Shredded Pork
Ingredients:
3 to 4 pound pork tenderloin 
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup ketchup
1 cup water
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 pinch cinnamon
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Place the pork tenderloin in the crock pot, place the onions and garlic over the meat. Salt and pepper the meat to taste. Mix the rest of the ingredients together until well blended. Pour the ketchup mixture over the meat, onions, and garlic. Cook on low for 4 to 5 hours remove the meat from the crock pot and shred, return and continue cooking for another 1 to 2 hours or until tender. Serve on your favorite buns.

    I usually add a bit of yellow mustard to my tomato-based BBQ sauce – it adds such a nice tang! This looks terrific – I love any and all barbecue! Good stuff – thanks.
