Leftover Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Originally published on July 30, 2014

Last time I went home to visit my mom, I made a delicious pork tenderloin one night. Before I made it, we couldn’t decide whether I should make both pieces that were in her freezer, or just one. Because I always opt on the side of “have enough to feed an army if you need it,” I made both of them. Of course, we only ate one and at the end of the meal we were left with an entire fully cooked pork tenderloin. And the next night, we proved that you don’t always need a picnic or shoulder roast to make pulled pork sandwiches. These were the easiest ones I’ve ever made, and they were tasty too!

Ingredients:

1 fully cooked pork tenderloin 
1 cup barbecue sauce 
4 hamburger buns 

Directions:

1.) If tenderloin is cold, warm it up in a 350 degree oven for 20 – 30 minutes. Then, using two fork, pull pork apart until you have shredded the entire tenderloin. You can also pull it apart with your hands, much the same way you would with traditional pulled pork.

2.) Place barbecue sauce in a pot and heat over low-medium heat. Bring to a simmer.

3.) When both the pork and the sauce are hot, place shredded pork into the sauce and stir to thoroughly coat all of the pork in the sauce. Divide evenly among all four hamburger buns.

4.) Serve and enjoy!
