As I've complained a few times now, I'm busy! Not at busy as someone with kids, but still, I've got a lot of plates in the air. I will admit it now - I've turned to crock potting. Originally I wouldn't fully fess up, since the cream of whatever and block of cream cheese - though amazingly delicious - is not healthy. I know, you may have to sit down from that heavy revaluation. I am also pretending to be a healthy person (though anyone who knows my love of cupcakes and chocolate could very easily disband that non truth).
But, here we go, I'll admit it. I really love my crock pot! (And I got a brand new time included pot for Christmas. Thanks Sir Viking!)
Okay. Barbecue. As someone who doesn't really like condiments, I've never fully understood the love of meat (bah) smothered in a smokey, spicy ketchup like sauce, until recently. I had pulled chicken and was allowed to dispense my own sauce. I finally understood. The delicious smoked meat is so juicy! Yum.
Knowing that Sir Viking is southern and enjoy barbeque, I was on the interwebz one day and found this little crock pot gem... and believe me, this is requested about every 9 days. You're going to want to write this down:
1 pork tenderloin1 can of root beer
Place in crock pot on low for 8 hours. At the end of the time, the meat will be tender enough to shred with a fork.
And it is.
Seriously. Combine the TWO ingredients in the picture. That's it.
Apparently the root beer acts as a tenderizer to the meat and gives it a sweet, herbal taste with a slight effervescence. It's friggin' fantastic people!!!
Once we're hungry, we use pretzel rolls (yumz!), I add cheese for me, and a little sweet barbeque sauce for each of us. Add a side salad and you have a perfectly delicious meal! AND since there are only two of us, we always have leftovers.
