Naptime Goals: Set-up pork in slow-cooker!
As part of my collaboration with Costco and the National Pork Board this week I developed a recipe using a Boneless Sirloin Tip Roast I got at Costco. Since we were planning a get together with friends recently I decided to use the meat for a great casual entertaining recipe. I’ve always loved making pulled pork in the slow-cooker so I decided to sweeten it up with some cherry cola and top it with a delicious cherry-mustard sauce.
I popped everything in the slow-cooker while my daughter was at school and let it bubble away all afternoon. Before dinner I wrapped up the menu and took the meat out of the cooker. The pork shredded into small pieces without a problem and I simply served it up on potato buns with the sweet sauce. I was thrilled with the sweet fruity mustard flavor of the sandwich. It was a terrific easy fall sandwich that I am sure to make again this winter!

Naptime Recipe Serving ideas
Pulled pork can be served warm or cold. Try serving it with a starch like rice or potatoes on the side. Oven baked french fries would be great, too!

Naptime Reviews
A great family recipe!
Looking forward to trying the recipe! I marinate a pork tenderloin overnight (or the good portion of the day) in Trader Joe’s Soyaki, and then I put it in a roasting pan and roast at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until it reaches the desired internal temperature. Slice and serve with rice and some sauteed asparagus and snap peas – easy dinner!

I love marinating pork tenderloin in a delicious mixture of herbs, wholegrain mustard, honey, and a little salt and pepper. Roasted in the oven it is so wonderfully tender and juicy!
