Ingredients list pork TENDERLOIN. Directions say pork LOIN. There's a big difference in cooking these different cuts. Can't see cooking an expensive cut like tenderloin in a crock pot recipe for 6-7 hours! I think this recipe is for pork loin. Need clarification for this recipe. I often run into recipes where tenderloin and loin are use interchangeably which is frustrating. One should know the proper cut of meat to use in a recipe.

Need an answer fast! I’ve made this many times over a few years, but only with one tenderloin (I never shred it). I’m making it now, but with 2. Do I need to increase the cooking time? I have a good-sized crock pot, so they’re not squooshed, if that makes a difference. I’ve added extra onions and garlic, and a half-bottle more of BBQ sauce. HELP!!! - Nibor

Was thinking exactly the same thing about which cut of pork to use, loin or tenderloin - changes everything. Price aside, I love both cuts and primarily use the tenderloin, so I'd hate to waste a whole meal when I could cook it another way. Like the recipe, so I may try it and tweak it, but I usually do a recipe as written the first time, before messing with it...

Hello, But shouldn't BBQ sauce be added near the end of the cook or even after the cooking? I noticed when smoking, bbq'ing, and even in over if i add BBQ sauce when starting to cook it hardens, and burns the outside of the meat. I like to add BBQ sauce at the end or near the cooking end, say about 10 minutes before I take it out. So after 6 hours of cooking in slow cooker BBQ sauce doesn't get burnt? I rarely use my slow cooker.

This is a easy, no-brainer recipe. I throw this into the crock pot before work and come home to delicious goodness. One thing I would like to note is that my crock pot produces a great amount of liquid during cooking. I have found it best to put in a small amount (1/4-1/2) of BBQ sauce for the majority of cooking time , drain the liquid (my crockpot gets SOOOO watery!), and then add the rest of the sauce during the last half hour or so after I have shredded the meat.

All the reviews here are old so I thought I would add mine... Super easy. I did a season rub on the loin, using cayenne pepper instead of hot sauce, and simply covered the meat (not filled the pot-poured 6-8 oz) with BBQ sauce. I started on high for 20 minutes then switched to low... served with fries & cauliflower. They ate it all up!! No-Brainer! For sure!!

Hi there. I'm a 26 year old new Mommy. I have a wonderful son (born 6-3-2008), a 6 year old step daughter and amazing man in my life. I work full time plus some so I am constantly looking for quick and easy dishes that don't compromise on flavor. I try to eat healthy most of the time but I think everyone needs a treat now and then. I'm hoping to get some of my own recipes posted on here but I tend to just throw things together and not measure. I actually started keeping a notepad and pen in the kitchen so I can jot things down as I make them. LOL, I'll let you know what happens.
