Smoky BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders with Slaw
Equipment
- Slow Cooker
- Mixing Bowl
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless pork shoulder
- ¾ cup smoky BBQ sauce
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 8 slider buns
- 2 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 large carrot, grated
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ tsp sugar
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Rub the pork shoulder with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Place it in a slow cooker and pour ½ cup of the BBQ sauce over the top.
- Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours until the pork shreds easily with two forks. Shred the meat directly in the slow cooker and stir in the remaining ¼ cup of BBQ sauce.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir until the slaw is evenly coated.
- Split the slider buns and lightly toast them in a skillet over medium heat if desired. Spoon pulled pork onto the bottom halves and add a generous spoonful of slaw on top. Close with the bun tops and serve right away.
Notes
Make the pork a day ahead and reheat it gently on the stove with a splash of water to keep it moist. If the slaw sits too long it softens, so mix it just before serving or keep the dressing separate until assembly. For a bit more smoke, add an extra pinch of smoked paprika to the finished pork before building the sliders.
