Tangy Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Another tasty treat from "Taste of Home" (February/March 2010 issue) and this one is super easy, prepared in the handy-dandy Crock-Pot.

TANGY PULLED PORK SANDWICHES
1 pork tenderloin
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 Tbsp. cider vinegar
3 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
3 Tbsp. spicy brown mustard
salt and pepper, to taste
Kaiser rolls, split

Cut tenderloin in half, place in a slow cooker. Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the pork.

Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until meat is tender. Remove meat to board or large platter; shred with two forks. Return to slow cool; heat through. Serve on kaiser rolls.

This is so incredibly easy and very tasty. As much as I love beef and chicken, pork is an outstanding alternative to white meat. And, it's very lean and low-fat. This recipe allows the pork to cook very slowly, keeping it tender and moist. I prefer a sweeter sauce, so I use more brown sugar than the recipe indicates. You can personalize it to your own taste by adjusting the sweetness and even adding more heat and spice.
