Ingredients
For the Pork
- 1 pound prepared pulled pork
or
- 3 to 4 pounds boneless pork shoulder roast or pork butt, bone in or out
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cola or root beer
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
For the Coleslaw
- 7 ounces coleslaw mix about 3 cups
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon celery seed
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
For the Sliders
- 12 hawaiian rolls or slider rolls, more if desired
- 3 tablespoons Garlic butter
- ¼ cup barbecue sauce more to taste
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese shredded, optional
Instructions
To Make the Pork
- For pre-made pulled pork, heat according to package directions.
- For homemade pulled pork, rub the pork with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper.
- Add the cola to the bottom of a 4qt slow cooker and place the pork in the slow cooker.
- Cook on high 4-5 hours or on low 7-8 hours or until fork tender.
- Transfer the pork to a large bowl and transfer the juices to a separate bowl.
- Shred the pork using two forks and discard any large pieces of fat. Add the pork back to the slow cooker and add ½ cup barbecue sauce. Slowly drizzle the reserved juices from the slow cooker into the pork as needed for moisture. Mix well.
- Cover and cook on high for an additional 30-60 minutes (optional).
Cup of Yum
To Prepare the Coleslaw
- Combine mayonnaise, cider vinegar, celery seeds, sugar and salt in a medium bowl.
- Add coleslaw mix and toss well to combine. Refrigerate until serving.
To Assemble the Sliders
- Using a serrated knife, cut the rolls in half (horizontally) without separating the rolls.
- Spread the garlic butter onto the bottom of the rolls and if using cheese, add the cheese to the top of the rolls. Broil until lightly browned.
- Divide the slaw over the bottom of the rolls, top with pulled pork, and drizzle with additional BBQ sauce if desired. Add the top of the rolls and serve.
Notes
- While this recipe makes 12 sliders, you will likely have enough pork to make up to 24 sliders. Leftover pulled pork can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 4 months.
- Leftover pulled pork should be stored separately from the buns and coleslaw.
- Leftovers are great on mac and cheese, as sliders, or on nachos.
