what's cooking wednesday - pulled pork

I love my slow cooker, but I have to admit I do not use it to it's full potential. And by that I mean I almost never use it ever. Really truly I only make roasts in it, but our red meat consumption has dropped considerably since Mike started weight watchers. So when I stumbled across this recipe in a cooking magazine I borrowed from my Dahleen, I knew I'd just have to try it. I mean chicken is great and all, but it was nice to have a little break from it.

tangy pulled pork sandwiches

1 pork tenderloin (1 lb)
1 cup ketchup
2 tbsp + 1 1/2 tsp brown sugar
2 tbsp + 1 1/2 tsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp + 1 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp spicy brown mustard
1/4 tsp pepper
kaiser rolls, split

Cut the tenderloin in half and place in a 3 qt slow cooker. Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, worcestershire sauce, mustard and pepper; pour over pork.

Cover and cook on low for 4 -5 hours or until meat is tender. Remove meat, shred with two forks. Return the to the slow cooker and heat through. Serve on rolls.

Recipe Notes: So this is not pulled pork that you would see in an authentic barbecue joint on a show like Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, but it was still pretty dang good if I do say so myself. I cooked the tenderloin from frozen, on high for about 5 hours. The only tiny change I made was to use dijon mustard since I didn't have any spicy brown mustard. Mike and I both loved this, can't wait to make it again.




What is What's Cooking Wednesday and how can I play?

What's cooking Wednesday was born out of a desire to get out of that what's for dinner rut. Playing is easy, on Wednesday post a recipe that has been tried and tested by you and then pop over here and add your name to the Mr. Linky. When entering your name also add the name of the recipe in brackets and make sure you link to your What's Cooking Wednesday post and not just your blog's front page. *All front page links will be deleted!* Don't make me be a jerk. And don't forget to link back here, the home of What's Cooking Wednesday.

So for example I would write Shan (Speedy Chicken Stir Fry) in the name section. For the URL section I would post this: http://shanrev.blogspot.com/2007/10/whats-cooking-wednesday-speedy-chicken.html

I'll let you in on a little secret, my WCW recipes are almost never made on a Wednesday. So feel free to cook and photograph whenever you have time and join us posting on Wednesday
