WHAT CAN I TOP THESE WITH?

To give these easy pulled pork sliders extra “pop” I topped them off with my pickled red onions.

They pair so perfectly with the sweet pulled pork, I just love that tart crispy bite the onions bring. Served all on a potato bread roll and you’re set!

Some other options you could serve on to would be Cole slaw, that is one that I have done and see a lot. You don’t even have to top these with anything.

We also add just a touch of BBQ sauce to the top of these as well and call it a day, the simplicity and flavor that comes from the pork alone is all it needs.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH PULLED PORK:

These sliders would be perfect to serve at your next cookout alongside some great bbq side dishes like:

• Homemade French Fries

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?

Need to switch things up for the best pulled pork sliders recipe?

Here are 6 ideas to tweak it for taste, diet, or whatever’s in your grocery store haul:

• Pork Butt – Use boneless pork shoulder or Boston butt instead of pork loin—more fat cap means juicier pork sandwiches!
• Hawaiian Sweet Rolls – Swap potato bread rolls for soft Hawaiian rolls or brioche buns for a sweet, soft bite—favorite slider buns alert!
• Apple Cider Vinegar – Mix this into your homemade BBQ sauce instead of using a store-bought favorite BBQ sauce—adds a tangy zip!
• Soy Sauce – Sub this for salt in the rub for a savory twist—great for large chunks of flavor!
• Instant Pot – Cook it in this instead of a slow cooker—set it on high pressure and cut the time down to an easy meal!
• Olive Oil – Use this instead of brown sugar in the rub if you want less sweet and more slick—still a pork slider recipe win!

That rub is what makes this pork, make sure you use it all, I know it looks like a lot, but trust me you will want to use it all, it will soak into the pork and the juice.

And you’re going to want to make sure that those juices are put back into the pork to give some extra moisture plus the flavor that comes from the rub itself.

You can use a bottled rub if you like, our personal preference is to make it from scratch as it is so easy and we can customize to our flavor profile but that is absolutely up to you.

We have nothing against a bottled rub, and we have used it in the past when we really are in a hurry and this recipe still turns out utterly delicious.

You can also use any type of BBQ sauce that you like too. My favorite is the honey bbq but we have use all different kinds, I like the way that it tastes with the brown sugar.

This needs to be refrigerated, this should not be left out at room temperature for any longer than a few hours or bacteria will build up.

Store in an airtight container such as a ziptop bag or Tupperware and it should keep up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

This can also be frozen, place pulled pork in an airtight freezer bag and get out as much air as you can, this will prevent freezer burn and place in freezer.

This should stay good for up to 6 months. Let defrost in the refrigerator and you can either reheat in the slow cooker or microwave.
