    Pork Roast ~ tenderloin (lean), 2 - 3 lb (1 - 1.5 kg)
    Seasoning Salt, 1 tsp (5 mL)
    Oil - Vegetable, 2 tbsp (30 mL)
    Beef Bouillon, 1 sachet (4.5 g)
    Warm water, 3/4 cup (175 mL)
    White Wine Vinegar, 1/4 cup (60 mL)
    Brown Sugar, 2 tbsp (30 mL)
    Granulated Garlic, 1/4 tsp (1 mL)
    Tony Roma's - Carolina Honeys With Hickory Bbq Sauce, 1 cup (250 mL)

    Enter into your recipes to get your nutritional values. I have it in as 8 servings for 1.2 kg of meat @ 370 cals, 23 g carbs, 11 g fat (depends on your cut of meat), 20 g sugar, 42 g protein, 119 mg cholesterol, 843 mg sodium.

    Instructions: Rub seasoning salt into roast and brown on all sides in pan with oil. Mix remaining ingredients together for sauce. Place roast into slow cooker, & pour sauce over. Cook on low for 8 hrs.

    I specified what kind of BBQ sauce I use because I've used other kinds, and it does not compare. You can use 1 can of condensed beef broth instead of the beef bouillon, if you prefer.

    It is a hit in our house!

    FYI the warm water is to mix the bouillon into. If you substitute it for canned beef broth, omit the water. :)

    Well...I wouldn't call this healthy, but its good and not super high in calories. lol And I serve it on Toasted bread instead of buns. (Sara Lee 90 calories for 2 slices)

    Ingredients:

    2 lb pork tenderloin (120 cal per 4 oz)
    12 oz bottle of Samuel Adams Boston Ale Beer (160 cal - whole bottle)
    16 oz (2 cups) Jack Daniel's - Barbecue Sauce - Original No. 7 (45 cal per 2 tbsp)


    Directions:

    Poke holes in the tenderloin with a fork. Place the pork in a slow cooker and pour the Beer over it. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or until well cooked and pork shreds easily. Drain well. Shred with two forks. Stir in BBQ sauce. Serve on bread

    Servings: Makes 8 servings w/ 4 oz of meat.

    Last Sunday I made a really easy pulled pork that we had as Tacos, the kids loved it as well. I was given the idea by a woman I work with.

    Pork Tenderloin and one jar of Salsa, I made it in the oven but you can do it in the slow cooker as well. It shreds very easily and tastes wonderful. I used a mild store brand salsa, but you can use your favorite.
