Pulled Pork Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls
Learn how to make pulled pork sliders with crockpot BBQ pulled pork. We also add a variation for Hawaiian (kahlua) pulled pork too.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3-4 lb pork butt or pork shoulder roast
- ½ cup+ BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoon pork rub
- 6 oz root beer Dr. Pepper, or 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
Instructions
- Coat the pork with 1-2 tablespoon of your pork rub. Be sure to press the run into the meat to help it stick.
- Place the pork shoulder or pork butt roast in the bottom of the crockpot. Add the liquid (root beer, Dr. Pepper, or broth) around the pork roast. Don't pour the liquid over the top of the roast... you don't want it to not over the top because you don't want the rub to slide off
- Cover and cook in a crockpot on low for 8 hours. When done, the pork should be easily falling apart.
- Remove the pork roast to a large bowl, add the liquid from the crockpot to moisten the meat as much as preferred.
- Shred the meat with a mixer, meat claws, or two forks.
- Serve on Hawaiian rolls, with extra BBQ sauce, or simply eat as-is. Enjoy!
Notes
- As tempting as it may be, don't lift the cover of your crockpot during cooking. Not only does this release the heat you need, but it also releases the moisture in the pot necessary for the fall-of-the-bone pork roast.
- Low and slow is your friend for this recipe - cook your roast on low for 8 hours.
- Add some of the sauce from the crockpot to your shredded pork for added moisture and flavor.
- Try your pulled pork sliders on a variety of rolls including Hawaiian, pretzel buns, or your favorite roll.
- Toast your buns prior to serving to prevent them from getting soggy.
- Use chicken thighs to create pulled chicken!
