3 ingredient slow cooker recipe

Someone mentioned they like quick/easy slow cooker recipes with fewer ingredients - can't get too much easier than this one:
1.5 lb pork tenderloin (can be bigger or smaller, doesn't really affect the recipe)
approximately 8 oz of root beer soda (I usually get a 2 liter of Roundy's root beer)
1 bottle of your favorite bbq sauce
Put the pork tenderloin in the slow cooker. Pour enough of the root beer into the slow cooker to come approximately 1" up the side of the pork tenderloin - this will depend on the size of your slow cooker and your pork. Cover and let cook all day.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker with a fork, leaving the root beer. Place the pork into a larger mixing bowl. With two forks, shred the pork. Add as much of the bbq sauce as you like - for a drier sandwich, add less, for a juicy sandwich add more.
That's it - you're done. We had this last night on silver dollar rolls with some coleslaw on top. Yummy!
