Family Favorite: Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sliders

One of our favorite meals is slow cooker pulled pork sliders. So much so, that we make this at least once every two weeks or so. I’ve also been known to throw this together for large group gatherings, family get-togethers, and anytime I’m on the hook for a main at a potluck. I guarantee you have all of the ingredients in your cupboard and this recipe is absolutely foolproof!

When it’s cold and wet outside, there is nothing better than an amazing bowl of soup to warm your soul.
