Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

This is one of my favorite recipes for home parties. I used the slider buns and our guests always want the recipe.

Place the pork tenderloin in a slow cooker. Salt & pepper the pork tenderloin to taste. Poke holes with a fork in the tenderloin. Pour root beer over the meat.  Cook on low for 5 ½ to 6 hours until tender. Drain well. Shred the pork tenderloin. Add barbecue sauce & mix well. Cook for an additional 1 ½ hours. Serve over hamburger buns.
