Equipment

Method
 

  1. Prep the Pork: Generously coat the pork shoulder with the Sweet Preacher spice, making sure to cover it evenly on all sides.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, Sweet Preacher spice, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
  3. Slow Cook: Place the pork shoulder in a crockpot. Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Pour the sauce over the top, cover, and cook on LOW for 10 to 12 hours or HIGH for 5 to 6 hours — until the pork easily shreds with a fork.
  4. Shred and Mix: Once cooked, transfer the pork to a cutting board and shred with two forks. Return the shredded pork to the crockpot and mix it with the cooking juices. Add salt to taste.
  5. Assemble the Sliders: Pile the shredded pork onto toasted hamburger buns, top with coleslaw, and serve immediately.
