Memphis style slow cooker pulled pork


1 (2 pound) pork tenderloin
Place the pork tenderloin in a slow cooker; pour the root beer over the meat. Cover and cook on low until well cooked and the pork shreds easily, 6 to 7 hours. Note: the actual length of time may vary according to individual slow cooker. Drain well. Stir in barbecue sauce. Serve over hamburger buns and top with coleslaw.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes

7 lbs sweet potatoes (make sure you have a large pot!)
Peel, cube and boil until soft.
Drain and add:
5 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. vanilla
4 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon (Mine may have had a bit more because I didn't measure
it.)
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 C. milk
1/2 C. brown sugar
Mash and enjoy. (I added some extra cinnamon on the top before I served)

Easy recipe and so good! 

Makes...a ton.  :)
