If frozen, thaw pork tenderloin in the refrigerator. Wash tenderloin and dab with a paper towel. If frozen, thaw collards in the refrigerator. Set out barbecue sauce to reach room temperature.

Place pork tenderloin in the slow cooker, covering the top with vegetable oil to help seasoning stick. Add brown sugar and spread evenly over the tenderloin.

Add paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, ground mustard, onion powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and crushed red pepper. Using your hands, spread seasonings evenly over the tenderloin.

Add water around the sides of the tenderloin, only until beneath the top of the tenderloin. Don't pour over the seasonings.

Allow pork tenderloin to cook on high in the slow cooker for roughly an hour, adding water as needed.

Turn the slow cooker on low and allow to cook for seven-eight hours until tender and cooked through, checking every hour or hour-and-a-half. Add water as needed.

Once done, shred the meat with two forks. Add the Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce to the shredded pork and stir until fully combined.

For the black-eyed peas, clean the peas thoroughly. Place the peas into a bowl of cold water and allow them to set until they've soaked up all the water.

Once they've soaked up the water, place the black-eyed peas into a separate slow cooker and add water until peas are covered.

Add salt, pepper, and seasoning salt, allowing peas to cook on high for about two-three hours. Keep an eye on the water, as the peas soak up water fairly quickly.

Turn the slow cooker on low and allow the black-eyed peas to cook for another one-two hours or until thoroughly cooked. Add a splash of the broth created by the pork tenderloin in the other slow cooker.

For the collard greens, add the collard greens to a pot and add water.

Add the butter and seasonings, allowing the collards to come to a rapid boil.

Once boiled, turn down to low and allow to simmer. Cook until fully done and slightly tender. Drain water if needed.

Once cooked, add a splash of broth from the pork tenderloin.
