  • 1/3 cup lite sour cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Preparation

Step 1


Pulled Pork:
In a standard size slow cooker, arrange onion slices and garlic on the bottom of the crock.
Pour in beef broth and water.
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, chill powder, cumin, cinnamon and pepper.
Pat pork tenderloins with paper towels and rub with spice mixture.
Place tenderloins on top of onion mixture.
Cook on high 6-8 hours or on low for 10-12 hours.
Once cooked, remove tenderloins to a plate and pull with two forks.
Place in a casserole dish and add cooked onions and broth back to the pork until just moistened.
Keep warm in the oven (I find this works better than the crockpot) or serve immediately.
Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce, coleslaw and buns.
Coleslaw:
Mix mayo, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard and celery seed in a medium bowl.
Stir in coleslaw mix to taste.
Mixture will get more "wet" as it sit so stir in more cabbage than you think.
Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
