Introduction

I was surprised by how good this recipe came out. I'm usually not a fan of bbq style sauces, but this one is not too sweet. The cooking is pretty hands-off, and the meat turns out nice and moist. Keep the cover on the whole time. I was surprised by how good this recipe came out. I'm usually not a fan of bbq style sauces, but this one is not too sweet.

Ingredients

1 Pound of whole pork tenderloin (buy one that's just a bit over because you'll be trimming some of the fat away)

1/3 cup of ketchup

2 tbsp of cider vinegar

1.5 tbsp of packed light brown sugar

2 tsp smoked paprika

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

0.5 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp salt

Tips

This recipe is from the book 400 Calorie Fix. I have found I cannot trust their calorie descriptions nor their portion sizes, so I have to input the ingredients here to double check.

Directions

Trim the pork and cut it into 2 inch pieces.

Mix all other ingredients together in a sauce pan or a dutch oven.

Add the pork, stir to coat and cook on medium-low for an hour. Stir occasionally.

Transfer the pork to a bowl, shred it using two forks, mix it with the sauce and serve.
