Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sliders
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sliders feature pork shoulder rubbed with a blend of nine spices, cooked slowly in beer until tender, then shredded for sandwich filling. The seasoned meat is combined with barbecue sauce and served on Hawaiian rolls for small handheld sandwiches, ideal for gatherings. The low-and-slow cooking in a slow cooker yields juicy, flavorful pork that pulls apart easily.
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
- 3 dozen hawaiian rolls
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.
