Just in time for summer BBQs, family reunions or any other reason to get a big group together. This yummy BBQ Pulled Pork is so tasty and makes a big batch to feed the awaiting and very hungry crew.

It’s very similar to my other Easy Slow Cooker Pulled Pork except this one cooks the pork right in the sauce for thorough absorption into all the nooks and crannies. The final product is soft, moist, pull-apart tender with an awesome BBQ flavor everyone craves.

I use tenderloin occasionally instead of pork roast or shoulder, especially when it’s on sale. Tenderloin is lower in fat, which makes it a tad less flavorful, but the delicious sauce makes up for anything lost in choosing a leaner cut of pork. That’s the beauty of slow cooking and of this BBQ sauce recipe.

Let’s talk BBQ sauce. It starts with ketchup, tomato paste and a whole lot of mustard, yellow mustard, not Dijon. Then I add apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Sriracha and liquid smoke for the most delicious BBQ sauce you’ve had in a long time. It’s lighter in color from the mustard, but you’ll be glad you added all that mustard. The pork is cooked right into this sauce and then once the pork is done, the sauce is reduced down to your desired thickness while your shred the tender pork with a couple of forks.
