Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches

We’re so happy it’s spring! We’ve both been spending more time basking outside with our families and enjoying the loads of sunshine, longer days, and warm weather. This time of year always makes me want to spend less and less time in the kitchen, so I can enjoy more time together with my family. We’ve both been making easy, low maintenance meals lately but still find ourselves running out of fresh ideas and making the same few meals on weekly rotation.

We’re so pumped to partner with Pampered Chef! Just like us, they strive to make everyday meals quicker and easier with their thoughtfully created and curated recipes and products! We’re thrilled to join their Tastebuds subscription program ! Basically, they send out 3 flavor-packed seasoning packets a month, along with 3 thoughtfully paired recipes cards to match alongside the seasonings you receive. It’s SUCH a great way to experience a variety of flavors and recipes without having to stress about what you’ll be making for dinner that night! We’re so excited to team up with Pampered Chef for their May TasteBuds subscription box! We’ve created 3 exclusive recipes, using their delicious seasonings, including our BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Pineapple Slaw!

These sandwiches couldn’t be easier to make, especially since we use Pampered Chef’s Deluxe Multicooker (on the slow cooker function) and their Smoky Applewood Rub to make the most delicious, flavor-packed and super tender pulled pork! You guys, this multicooker is a beast! Not only does it slow cook, but it can also sous vide, pressure cook, make perfect boiled eggs, make yogurt, it has a bean function and SO MUCH MORE! I was able to declutter my appliance cabinet and replace FIVE different appliances with the multicooker – incredible!

After liberally rubbing the pork shoulder with a mixture of applewood rub and oil, we tossed it into the multicooker with a few other basic ingredients, set it to slow cook on low and 8 hours later we had the softest, most flavorful, juicy pulled pork imaginable! We paired the pulled pork with a simple pineapple-cabbage slaw to balance out the flavors and textures and stuffed everything inside a buttery brioche burger bun! We love how delicious, unfussy, and easy this recipe is to make. It allows us to spend more time out of the kitchen and with our families, while still providing them with an incredible meal!
