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.
SLOW COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK
If you've spent any time on Pinterest or food blogs, you've likely come across a recipe for three-ingredient barbecue pulled pork that can be made in the slow cooker. Methods and ingredients vary, but the recipe almost always calls for boneless pork shoulder, some sort of dark cola (usually Dr Pepper or root beer) and barbecue sauce. Dubious? We were too, so we asked the members of our NYT Cooking Community Facebook page if anyone had ever made it and if they liked it. We received more than 150 very opinionated responses. Many readers have come up with their own clever twists, like using coffee or beer in place of cola, adding onions or chipotles, rubbing the meat with a spice blend and searing the meat before cooking. We tried cooking it a few different ways and found we liked this adaptation best. It calls for a few more ingredients and an extra step or two, but it's got layers of flavor and it's still mostly fuss-free. (You can find the pressure-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork. If you have time, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight. If you don't, no worries; proceed to Step 2.
- Lightly grease the crock of a slow cooker. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear the pork until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes each side. Add onion, if using, to the slow cooker. Add the pork on top of the onion. Pour soda over the pork and set the slow cooker to low for 6 to 8 hours, until the meat has collapsed and shreds easily.
- Drain most of the liquid from the slow cooker and shred the meat directly in the pot. Add about 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce and stir to combine. (At this point, if you like crisp bits in your pulled pork, you can spread the shredded pork on a sheet pan and place under a broiler for a couple minutes then return to the slow cooker.) Taste and add more barbecue sauce, hot sauce, salt or pepper, if desired. Serve with soft rolls and extra sauce on the side.

Steps:
- PREPARE BARBECUE PULLED PORK ROAST.
- Trim excess fat from the pork (Butt, Roast, or Shoulder). Leave some for flavor, but trimming now will reduce what you will need to skim off at the end of cooking.
- Place the Mojito Lime Seasoning, chili powder, black pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a large bowl. Add oil to make a paste. Rub all over the pork, working the spice mixture into the meat well.
- Wrap the pork tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Transfer the pork to a roasting pan with a rack. Allow to stand at room temperature while the oven heats to 400⁰ (F). Cook for 20 minutes. (preferably with convection) Transfer to a slow cooker.
- Blend the Kraft Original Thick & Spicy BBQ Sauce, Open Pit Original BBQ Sauce, dark brown sugar, mustard, A-1, Worcestershire, remaining garlic, and onion (reserve 2 TBS onion for the coleslaw.) Pour the mixture over the pork and add water to cover. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or until *very* tender.
- When pork is tender, skim off any fat. Transfer the pork to a large bowl. Use two forks to separate the meat into long strands (large serving forks work great.).
- Remove 2 cups of cooking juices to a saucepan. Whisk in the cornstarch and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until thickened and bubbling. Set aside.
- Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker; stir to combine with the remaining cooking juices.
- PREPARE COLESLAW.
- Core and shred cabbage into longish strands. Shred the carrot. Finely dice the onion.
- Combine the shredded cabbage, carrot, and onion in a large bowl.
- In a separate medium bowl, Whisk the salad dressings, Sweet 'N Low® (or sugar), vinegar, wasabi, salt, and celery seeds and blend thoroughly.
- Pour dressing mixture over shredded cabbage, carrot, and onion. Mix and toss to coat. Chill at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve the pulled pork on soft rolls and drizzle with thickened sauce mixture to taste. Top with coleslaw or serve on the side.

Steps:
- Spray slow cooker with a little bit of non-stick cooking spray or olive oil.
- In a small saucepan, mix together seasonings (paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dry mustard) and rub on the outside of the pork roast. Take a larger roast. Place pork roast in slow cooker.
- Pour beef broth around the bottom of the slow cooker (don't pour it directly on the roast or it will rinse off all the seasonings).
- Cook on low heat for 8-10 hours (or high heat for 5-6, but I feel like the pork is more tender if you cook it on low).
- Shred the meat with 2 forks and pour in a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. Mix all together and serve on a bun with coleslaw.
- To make the coleslaw, combine coleslaw, cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, make dressing by combining mayonnaise, vinegar, celery seed, sugar, salt and pepper. Toss dressing into cabbage mixture and let chill until ready to serve.
