2 pound Pork Tenderloin
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 TBS Yellow Mustard
2-3 TBS maple syrup
2 TBS olive oil
2 TBS Diced dried onions
1 1/2 TSP Garlic Salt or Powder
Mix ingredients above. Pour over Tenderloin in the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours.
Speaking of....I had a craving for pulled pork a couple weeks ago, so I put a tenderloin in the slow cooker all day. Then when I got home from work, I just pulled it apart with two forks, and dumped some Sweet Baby Ray's on top. I was afraid there was too much juice in the slow cooker, and that it would be too runny. While it wasn't runny, it got kind of...gummy or sticky I guess would be the description. It tasted great, and hubby didn't complain but I found it a little odd that it was kinda sticky. Anybody know what happened? What should i have added to it to make it more juicy?

Just a guess, but the #1 ingredient in that sauce is corn syrup and the #4 ingredient is food starch. Makes it thick and sticky. To make it more juicy, add water.
I think the problem you had is that you used tenderloin. You need a fattier cut of meat for that kind of dish in a slow cooker. Tenderloin is very, very lean.
Pork tenderloin is a tender cut of meat that doesn't require slow cooking. This would be analogous to slow cooking a filet mignon (same cut of meat from a cow).
Thanks jk.
Maybe I didn't use tenderloin....can't remember...I don't buy much pork, because we have a 1/4 beef in the freezer. But I just wanted some pulled pork, and figured how tough can it be to make some???
JK I always wait till Food Lion has pork butt-which is not the butt but the shoulder- on sale and slow cook it. Lots of fat in this cut means lots of moisture. After it is fully cooked and I have separated it with forks I warm it up with a little bit of prepared BBQ sauce. Or if I use brown sugar and a tomato product with the pork in the slow cooker I count that as BBQ sauce and don't add anything to it.
I'm getting groceries today, maybe I'll buy a pork butt and try it again.
