Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwich with Creamy Slaw

Topped with crunchy slaw and piled high on Three Bakers gluten free Whole Grain Hamburger Buns, pulled pork is the perfect slow cooking dish for Fall. This warm and comforting recipe is so easy to pop into the slow cooker in the morning before a busy day and yields enough pulled pork for extra servings on another day. Got to love that! The creamy slaw used to top the sandwiches gives a bit of crunch and sweetness, but also makes a great side dish.

Don’t eat pork? No problem! Replace the pork roast with the same amount of boneless, skinless chicken thighs that have been trimmed and cook as directed.
