Fantastic Pulled Pork mini-Sammy's!

Ok, sorry I don't have any pictures but I thought it best to just get out this recipe and you could try it yourself and take your own pics. lol

This is compliments of one of the million recipe books we have and since I was in the mood to have some type of bbq at a recent gathering we had I tried it, its super easy!

Check it out...

You will need to grab:

a 2 to 3 pound pork tenderloin
a 6 pack of your favorite Rootbeer (about two to use and the rest to drink) I used A&W
1-2 bottles of your favorite bbq sauce (I used KC Masterpiece hickory flavor)
Several packages of the Hawaiian dinner rolls or large hamburger buns if you don't want "mini" sammy's (Hawaiian brand is usually found near the bakery or deli area)
Butter
Dill pickle slices

Put your tenderloin in a decent size crockpot (seasoning is optional from what I can tell, some say you can salt and pepper it, I just added a little coating of dry fajita seasoning, but really couldnt taste it when it was done so it's up to you)

Pour enough Rootbeer over the tenderloin to cover it and fire up your crockpot to low (225 to 250)

Let it cook for 7 to 8 hours

Once the tenderloin is "tender" remove it from the crockpot and "shred it with two forks"

Dump out the juice and Rootbeer that is left in your crockpot and once shredded, add your tenderloin back to the crockpot, then add the bottle of bbq sauce. (I added a little more because I used a 3 pounder so you might actually want to buy two bottles)

Heat everything back up again

Cut however many dinner rolls you want to use in half and spread butter on the insides then place in a frying pan cooking till the cut sides are brown and toasted.

Now all you have to do is add your pulled pork to the buns, add a pickle to top if you want, and "ta dah", you have yourself a pulled pork sammy with very little effort!

Note: this makes a pretty good sized portion so make sure to invite your friends! Also, this works great for parties...just leave it in the crockpot and let everyone make their own sammy...less work for the host. ;-)
