PULLED PORK SLIDERS

These Easy Shredded Pulled Pork Sliders are served on slider buns, your favorite toppings, and drizzled in your favorite BBQ sauce. Serve these mini sandwiches at your cookouts, tailgates, or any gathering.

What Type of Pork/Cut of Meat to Use

You can use a pork tenderloin, pork shoulder, or pork butt. Bone-in or boneless, for the shoulder, will work just fine. I prefer to use a pork tenderloin. They are easy to find and are typically less than 2 pounds, which is what I like for the recipe.

What Kind of Sliders Bun to Use

You can use any small, slider buns you like. I love to use Hawaiian sweet rolls because the combination of flavors with the pork and BBQ is so good.

How to Make Pulled Pork Sliders

Detailed measurements and full instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Pour Dr. Pepper into the Crockpot.
Place the tenderloin over the soda.
Cook.
Open the pot and shred the meat using 2 forks.
Pour in the BBQ sauce and stir.
Serve the pulled pork on rolls or buns.

What Kind of BBQ Sauce to Use

Use your favorite BBQ sauce. I love to use a local favorite. If I’m looking for a sauce without added sugar, I use Primal Kitchen.

How to Substitute Pork

You can make pulled chicken sandwiches if you wish, using any boneless cut of chicken, such as breasts. The cook time will remain the same.

Coleslaw

I almost always have coleslaw with pulled pork. You can simply grab a bag of pre-mixed coleslaw and serve it dry on the sliders. It still tastes great!

How to Store Leftovers

Keep the buns separate from the pulled pork. Store leftover pork in tightly sealed containers in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Freezer Tips

Freeze in airtight containers or bags for up to 3 months.
