Slow Cooker Pulled Pork BBQ Sliders || Perfect for a Party Crowd

Hello friends! Today I am joining a group of bloggers who are all sharing budget friendly recipes. I am always looking for new inspiration and am excited to check out everyone’s recipes today, a huge thanks to Marty for putting this fun idea together. For my budget friendly recipe,  I am sharing a yummy slow cooker pulled pork BBQ that I recently made. This recipe is actually from my bestie in Charlotte and she has made it numerous times for us. It is truly the perfect thing to throw in the crockpot and have ready when guests arrive! Always a crowd pleaser and plenty to go around.

 

It is also a lean version of slow cooker pulled pork BBQ because you use a pork tenderloin as your cut of meat. And lastly- I consider this a budget recipe because while it tastes as good as getting it catered from a BBQ restaurant- it is much cheaper than getting it as take-out. Healthier and less expensive? Win win! 

As I mentioned, I made this a few weeks ago for some company and I loved how easy it was to prepare. I also loved how it was cooked and ready when our guests arrived so there was no frantic grilling burgers or burning anything in the oven! (ahem, I tend to get a little distracted when entertaining!) Now I just need to find a delicious home made coleslaw recipe because I did grab a quart from our favorite BBQ chain to serve along this meal.

Prep Time: 5 Min

Cook Time: 7 hours

Total Time: 7 hours 5 minutes

INSTRUCTIONS || SLOW COOKER PULLED PORK BBQ

1. Place pork in the slow cooker and season with salt, vinegar, garlic powder and liquid smoke.
2. Cover and set to high for 6 hours.
3. Remove pork and transfer onto a large dish; reserve all the liquid into a cup and set aside.
