This recipe makes about 24 sliders (small sandwiches). Sliders are great for serving at parties. People appreciate having a few filling recipes to choose from at a party. Things other than dips are most welcome, and a platter of these Carolina BBQ Sliders is usually completely devoured. I suggest serving them at a sport’s themed party or a casual gathering with friends or relatives.
The best kind of pulled pork is made in the slow cooker. Thats how the pork is made for these sliders. A slow cooker takes the stress out of cooking, and it happens to do wonderful things to pork. After slow cooking all day with a handful of spices and other ingredients, the pork pulls apart so easily and is ready to pile onto rolls to create Carolina BBQ Pork Sliders.
The best pulled pork sliders are served with cole slaw. It’s delicious served on the side, but a lot of people like to put a spoonful of cole slaw on top of their pulled pork inside the slider. I suggest making my Creamy Buttermilk Cole Slaw to eat with these Carolina BBQ Pork Sliders. It’s perfect!
What is Carolina Pulled Pork?
North Carolina is known for the way they barbecue their pork. Pulled Pork is slow smoked until it’s so tender that it pulled apart easily. The pork is then combined with a vinegar-based sauce, and it’s served with cole slaw on a bun to make these (North Carolina style) BBQ Pork Sliders. In contrast, South Carolina pulled pork is characterized by having a yellow mustard type barbecue sauce. If you’re looking for more delicious recipes to serve at a party, you might also like to try my Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches or these Oreo Brownies. Homemade Soft Pretzel Bites and Buffalo Chicken Dip are great party recipes too!
