Bbq Pork Sliders With Blue Cheese Slaw Recipes

PULLED PORK SLIDERS AND SLIDER BAR

Steps:

• I recommend these pork recipes from the slow cooker or Instant Pot. Both recipes yield 8 cups pulled pork.*Make the pork, bbq sauce, and coleslaw a day in advance for optimal flavor and convenience.
• Put the SLAW, BBQ SAUCE, PICKLES, and FRENCH FRIED ONIONS in serving dishes and arrange on a large serving tray or baking sheet. Reserve a spot for the PULLED PORK serving dish. Pull SLIDER ROLLS apart and arrange them around the toppings.*pro tip - nest the cold toppings in bowls of crushed ice to keep them chilled.
• To serve, reheat the PULLED PORK in a heat-safe serving dish and fit it in the reserved spot on the tray.*tip: keep a backup of pork in the Instant Pot or slow cooker in 'keep warm' mode and refill the serving tray as needed.
• Build the sliders from the bottom up in assembly-line fashion.
• Start with the slider bottom, and layer upwards with mayo, bbq sauce, pork, more bbq sauce, coleslaw, pickles, French fried onions, more bbq sauce, and the slider top.
• Serve immediately.

SLOW-COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK SLIDERS WITH SLAW

Steps:

• For the BBQ pork: Whisk together the smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder and onion powder in a large bowl. Add the pork shoulder and turn to coat.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over low heat and cook the pork, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the pork to a plate. Combine the onions with the chili sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and 1 cup water in a slow cooker and whisk together. Add the pork shoulder, cover and cook on low until the pork is hot and cooked through, 8 to 10 hours.
• Remove the pork to a cutting board and set aside. Pour the liquid into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over high heat until reduced by half or the sauce is thick, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, shred the pork with 2 forks or chop into pieces. Put back in the slow cooker and top with the reduced sauce, to taste.
• For the slaw: Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cabbage and carrots and toss until coated.
• To serve, place the pulled pork on the bottom buns, top with the slaw, then close the sliders.
