Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Place the sliced onions in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Lay the pork tenderloin on top of the onions.
Sprinkle garlic powder over the pork and pour in the apple cider vinegar.
Pour the BBQ sauce over everything, making sure the pork is mostly covered.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the pork is tender and shreds easily.
Remove the pork, shred it with two forks, and return it to the sauce in the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
Let it sit on “warm” for 15–20 minutes to soak up the flavor before serving.

Notes

You can use pork loin or pork shoulder if you prefer, just adjust the cook time as needed.
For extra flavor, sear the pork in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
Serve on buns, in tacos, or over mashed potatoes.
Add a splash of water or broth if your BBQ sauce is too thick.
