Instructions

Step 1: Season 3 lbs pork shoulder with 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp paprika, and 1 tsp garlic powder, rubbing evenly all over.
Step 2: Place seasoned pork in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours until the meat is tender and pulls apart easily.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup yellow mustard, 1/4 cup honey, and 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.
Step 4: Remove pork from slow cooker and shred using two forks. Toss the pulled pork with the honey-mustard glaze until evenly coated.
Step 5: Assemble sliders by spooning about 1/3 cup pulled pork onto each of the 12 slider buns. Top with 1 tbsp coleslaw if desired for added crunch and tang.
