Allergens

Gluten (if using gluten-containing buns), Dairy (in pimento cheese)

Ingredients

• 2 lbs boneless pork shoulder
• 1 cup pimento cheese (store
• bought or homemade)
• 12 slider buns
• BBQ sauce (homemade or your favorite store
• bought)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat a smoker or grill to 250°F (120°C).
2. Season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper, then place it on the smoker or grill, fat side up.
3. Smoke the pork for about 8 hours, until it reaches an internal temperature of 200°F (93°C) and is tender enough to shred easily.
4. Remove the pork from the heat, let it rest for 15 minutes, then shred using two forks.
5. In a large bowl, combine the shredded pork with your favorite BBQ sauce, stirring until evenly coated.
6. Assemble the sliders: spread a generous layer of pimento cheese on the bottom half of each bun, then top with a heaping spoonful of pulled pork, and finally drizzle more BBQ sauce if desired.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy the sizzling, smoky, and unforgettable flavors of your game day masterpiece.

Chef’s Insight

The key to tender pulled pork is smoking it low and slow, so don't rush the process.

Notes

For a spicier twist, add some hot sauce to the BBQ sauce or use a spicy pimento cheese.
