This is a simple and flavorful dish. Just follow the directions below, then continue on with your plans for the day! Don't be surprised if you find yourself going back for seconds, it's that good.

1 lb Pork Tenderloin

1 bottle of BBQ sauce (or see recipe below for homemade)

1 small onion (red or white, I used a combo of both in the picture)

salt & pepper

1). Season the tenderloin with salt and pepper on both sides. Then place in the crockpot.

2). Dice up the onion and add to the crockpot.

3) Pour half the bottle of BBQ sauce on top ( or see BBQ sauce recipes below).
**Optional: Add 2 tbps of honey.

Let cook for 3 hours, then add the rest of the BBQ sauce. Then cook another 1-2 hours.
I suggest taking the tenderloin out of the crockpot, spooning the onions/sauce over it, then letting it sit for a 5-7 mins before cutting into it. This way all the wonderful flavor from the juices doesn't escape. You can either serve it by cutting it into pieces or by pulling it apart with a fork (pulled pork). This makes a delicious sandwich on Portuguese Pops or other types of hard bread. I suggest pairing this with Roasted Rosemary Baby Potatoes.
