3 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloins
-
4 cups chopped onions
-
1 (18 ounce) bottle hickory smoke-flavored barbecue sauce
-
1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

½ (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle diet pepper-type soda (such as Diet Dr Pepper®)

¼ cup reduced-sodium Worcestershire sauce
-
2 tablespoons minced garlic
-
2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
-
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions
-
Cut each pork tenderloin into 4 pieces and place into a slow cooker; set to High.
-
Stir onions, barbecue sauce, crushed tomatoes, diet soda, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, liquid smoke flavoring, paprika, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl; pour mixture over pork tenderloin pieces. Cover and cook until tenderloin pieces begin to shred at the edges, 3 to 4 hours.

Cook’s Note
Substitute any other diet soda; the soda is used as a substitute for brown sugar.
