Barbecue is a summer staple. I must say I like it on the grill, but the slow cooker is so easy. Especially when it’s something like these bbq pulled pork sliders.
This begins with a simple rub made from garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Then you also give the meat a light coat of bbq sauce. Then it’s time to leave it for 8 hours and let the slow cooker work it’s magic. Those spices and sauce get all flavorful with the meat. Plus, the meat gets nice and tender.
Once the meat is cooked, you just need to shred the meat with the juices in the crock pot. Then you mix in some more bbq sauce to up that level of bbq flavor. Plus, it gets the pork nice and saucy!
Now to seve this pulled pork, you will need some slider rolls. Sliders work great when you have a family with varying appetites. Your little ones can get by with 1 slider. Your older kids will propabaly need 2 sliders. Then the adults may want 3 sliders. Pick your favorite roll or slider bun. Toast them in the oven to add a little crunch before building the sliders.
The final touch to these bbq pulled pork sliders is a simple garlic aioli. It is a surprisingly wonderful addition. The creaminess is a welcomed texture to the sandwich. It also gives it some fantastic flavor. The aioli would also work great in burgers too!
