Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds pork shoulder (bone-in or boneless)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (240 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard (30 ml)
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (45 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (25 g)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (5 g)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (5 g)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage (about half a medium head)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (120 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (15 ml)
  • 12 small slider buns (brioche recommended)

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels. Rub evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. (About 5 minutes)
  2. Place the pork shoulder into the slow cooker. In a separate bowl, mix BBQ sauce, yellow mustard, and brown sugar. Pour over the pork, coating it generously. (5 minutes)
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours until pork is fork-tender and shreds easily.
  4. While pork cooks, shred cabbage and carrots finely. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss cabbage and carrots in dressing until evenly coated. Chill in fridge. (15 minutes)
  5. Remove pork from slow cooker and shred using two forks or meat claws. Mix in any remaining sauce from the slow cooker. (10 minutes)
  6. Toast slider buns lightly if desired. Assemble sliders by piling pulled pork and topping with creamy coleslaw. (5 minutes)
  7. Serve warm with your choice of sides.

Notes

If pork seems dry after shredding, stir in reserved cooking juices or extra BBQ sauce. Toast buns lightly to prevent sogginess. For gluten-free, use gluten-free rolls or lettuce wraps. For dairy-free coleslaw, substitute mayonnaise with vegan mayo or avocado.
