crockpot kick kid-friendly main dish pork pulled pulled pork recipe sandwich sliders slowcooker steak

Slow-Cooked Pulled Pork Sliders

It’s the first day of March, and I’ve decided to come back to you guys in full swing!

Since the beginning of this year I’ve been busy busy busy and haven’t had a chance to share with you some good food and recipes like I’d like.

You’ve gotten to know me a bit more intimately  but let’s face it, you guys are here for the food! I mean, it’s a food blog, not a self blog!

I appreciate you for sticking around and reading about the past few crazy months with me, but it’s time to get back to basics and what brought me to blogging which is cooking, baking and sharing it all with you! So here I am and I’m recommitting to that! Now that I know my new kitchen a bit better now, I’m ready to share some more good eats with you!

First on my list of recipes to share is these pulled pork sliders. These babies are GOOD! They are slow cooked to a tender and moist finish and the sauce is tangy – a bit sweet as well as spicy. Just how I like! My babies gobbled them up, so they aren’t too spicy – and my husband went back for seconds (and thirds, and fourths…). Try them and let me know what you think!

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Ro-tel Original tomatoes, drained and mashed just a bit
  • 2 tablespoons Paprika
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 jalapeno, veined, seeded and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • About 3 pounds of boneless pork blade steak
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Directions:
Begin by chopping your onion and then add it to the slow cooker with the ketchup, vinegar,
brown sugar, tomatoes, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper.
Next, cut the jalapeno and then remove the seeds and veins, then chop it up. 
Add the chopped jalapenos, then stir up the sauce and add the honey and red pepper flakes.
Now cut up the pork steak in large pieces, trimming off any excess fat.
Once the pork pieces are prepared, dip them in the sauce and be sure to fully immerse both sides.
Add each additional piece of meat, doing the same process with each.
Once all the pork steak pieces are soaked in the sauce and immersed, cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours (or high for 3-4 hours.)
Once the pork is cooked to tender, remove all the meat from the slowcooked. At this point if you were cooking it on low, turn it up to high and stir the sauce up a bit. Cover.

Place the meat on a large dish or plate, and begin shredding all the meat. I typically use two forks and it shreds pretty easily (it’s very tender).

Quickly add the cornstarch (to thicken the sauce) and whisk it in quickly with the sauce. Stir in the shredded meat, cover and cook an additional 30 minutes or so on high. 
Serve on slider buns (you can even get fancy and make your own, I plan to have a recipe for this to share soon!) Toast the buns, butter the tops and add some cole slaw mix, then top with the pulled pork. Possibly add some pickles or hot sauce. Delish!
Serve and Enjoy!!

      Hi Laney!
      No, actually it’s more tangy than spicy. There’s a sweet taste to it too, with the honey and brown sugar. My one year old and four year olds both ate it with no problem. 🙂

    OMG this looks sooooo good. I am so hungry right now lol. Its funny because I was just talking to a co-worker about pulled pork sandwiches, actually she was talking to me about wanting some, because I was talking about wanting some Carnitas so I told her to get some carnitas, put it in the crockpot, throw some BBQ Sauce onions garlic and let it simmer. I’m going to have to share this recipe with her 🙂

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

Get the recipe and all the Vidalia Onion details by clicking the link in my profile or desktop users can click here for the recipe >> https://mamaharriskitchen.com/2021/06/pan-seared-shrimp-veggie-rice-bowl-vidalia-onions/ .

Also make sure to grab some Vidalia Onions from your local grocer before they are out of season in late August/early September.☀️

This time of year I love warm, comforting recipes that are super easy and delish. This ridiculously easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is a one pot meal, ready in under 30 minutes and uses already prepared rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor (and ease)! With a tasty blend of flavors and textures, it’s like a bowl full of comfort. 

Get the recipe by clicking the link in profile at @mamaharriskitchen or just google “Mama Harris Kitchen Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup” 🍲 Enjoy!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
