5. SLOW COOKER PULLED PORK SLIDERS
Cooktop Cove
 
There are so many different approaches when it comes to making a fantastic pulled pork. There are some really great pulled pork recipes out there, but many of them call for more than 10 ingredients. While there is nothing wrong with this, the surplus of grocery list items simply isn't necessary when it comes to ensuring a brilliant end result.
This recipe for Pulled Pork Sliders proves just that. With only 8 ingredients (including the buns!), this stand out recipe is just as delicious as those that are double the complexity and triple the price. We recommend serving this tender treat on hamburger buns with a side of fresh coleslaw. Delicious!
