Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sliders
Description
The preparation begins by mixing black pepper, chili powder, cumin, brown sugar, oregano, smoked paprika, kosher salt, granulated sugar, and white pepper into a spice rub. This rub is evenly massaged into the pork roast and refrigerated for 3 to 24 hours to deepen the flavor.
After marinating, the pork is placed in a slow cooker with beer, which adds moisture and a subtle malt character. It cooks on low for about eight hours until tender enough to shred. Any excess fat can be removed from the pulled meat before tossing it with barbecue sauce.
The pulled pork is served on small Hawaiian slider buns with coleslaw or toppings as desired. This recipe yields approximately thirty sliders when using a 6-pound pork butt, portioned at 3 ounces of pork each. These sliders make for convenient, flavorful party fare or casual meals.
Nutritional values exclude barbecue sauce and toppings, focusing on the seasoned pulled pork portion.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon black pepper ground
- 2 Tablespoons chili powder
- 2 Tablespoons cumin ground
- 2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon oregano ground
- 4 Tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 Tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon ground white pepper
- 1 lb pork roast
- 1 cup beer such as an IPA beer, good quality

Instructions
- Mix all 9 spices, from black pepper through white pepper in a small bowl. Lay pork shoulder on a large piece of plastic wrap and use rub to cover all sides of pork, massaging the rub into the meat. Seal tightly with two layers of wrap and refrigerate for 3 and up to 24 hours.
- Remove roast from plastic wrap. Place roast in slow-cooker. Add beer and cover. Cook on low for 8 hours, or until pork is cooked through and pulls apart easily. Discard cooking liquid.
- Let pork rest until cook enough to tear into thin shreds. Remove fat if desired.
- Toss pulled pork with BBQ sauce and serve on buns with coleslaw.
Notes
- This recipe yields about 30 sliders when using a 6-pound pork butt, with each slider containing approximately 3 ounces of shredded pork.
