This recipe is my go to on a day I don't really want to cook. Since this recipe just requires putting the ingredients in the slow cooker and basically walking away it's great for days when I'm doing other things. I like to make jasmine rice to serve with it for a simple and delicious meal.

Instructions

Add the pork tenderloin to your crockpot. Pour the barbecue sauce and pineapple chunks with juice over top.

Cook on high for two hours. Using a digital thermometer check the temperature of the tenderloin in the thickest part. The temperature needs to be at least 145 degrees to be done.

I like to cook my pork tenderloin to 155-160 degrees and then remove from the crockpot to a platter or cutting board to rest for 10 minutes before I slice it or shred it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for pork to cook in the crockpot?

The pork tenderloin needs to reach an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees. I like mine to cook to 155-160 degrees before I pull it from the crockpot to cool. This should take about 2 hours on the high setting. Be sure to use a digital thermometer to test the temperature in the thickest part of the tenderloin.

Can pork tenderloin be used for pulled pork?

Pulled pork recipes typically call for pork shoulder or pork butt. You can however definitely use pork tenderloin for pulled pork though. This recipe is perfect to use for pulled pork.

Instead of cutting the cooked meat into medallions you can shred it using two forks. There is lots of leftover juice with this recipe that you can mix with the pulled pork to keep it juicy.
