Slow cooker pulled pork on a bun with coleslaw

By the time it’s done, you have juicy, pull-apart pork that tastes like you fussed all day, even though the slow cooker handled the hard part.

Pile the pulled pork onto soft hamburger buns or brioche rolls and top with a crunchy vinegar coleslaw for contrast. It’s also excellent over baked potatoes, spooned onto toasted Texas toast, or tucked into tortillas with pickled onions. For sides, think classic cookout fare: baked beans, macaroni and cheese, corn on the cob, or a simple green salad. Leftovers make great nachos, grain bowls, or a quick lunch wrap with shredded lettuce and cheddar.
