If there's one thing we love it's sliders! There's just something about having tiny sandwiches to make you feel better about what you're eating. One of our go-to sliders are our pulled pork sliders that are smokey yet sweet.

Why are Pulled Pork Sliders amazing?
One of the reasons I love pulled pork sliders is because of how easy they are to make. I make our pulled pork in the slow cooker and let the Smokey aroma of the pork cooking fill our house. It's definitely one of my favorite smelling meals.
The pulled pork is definitely best when it cooks for eight hours. Plus, you'll find that it's best to prepare the meat in the slow cooker in the morning because it requires brewed coffee as an ingredient. The recipe makes a ton of pulled pork so it's great for a crowd and if you have any leftover our Pulled Pork Baked Potatoes are out of this world.

My favorite OxO product is their mandolin slicer. It's so easy to use. I love scalloped potatoes, and can make them so much faster with the mandolin. I have many OxO gadgets in my kitchen and around the house.
