Rich and delicious Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Burgers – the perfect comfort food! Serve with an Asian slaw for the ultimate dinner.
Hi there!! How’s life treating you this week? Everything is great (but buussssy here). Mind you, everyone’s always busy nowadays, right!? Anyway, I wish I could take credit for todays recipe – geez I wish I could. But nope, this one is all thanks to my hubby.
You see, I LOVE baking. Ask me to make a cake, a slice, some biscuits, or a dessert, and I’m literally like a pig in mud. But ask me to make dinner and I’m all like ‘Why?…. Why?…. Oh why do we have to cook dinner every single night!!??’. I’m not the greatest fan of cooking dinner (which is pretty much why we eat a lot of frittatas, sushi, quick pastas etc).
Dave on the other hand, is an absolute kick-ass savoury cook. When I first met him (which was 13 years ago!!), he would cook me dinner on a Friday night and he would always make either lamb wraps or ravioli with store-bought pasta sauce. They were literally the only two meals he could make. Thank goodness over the years he’s pretty much completely changed into quite the MasterChef (and he’s going to kill me for saying all of this!!).
On the weekends, Dave is our kitchen-whizz. He’s the total opposite of me when he cooks. He takes his time, is really particular… and makes the HUGEST FREAKING MESS EVER. But that’s a whole other battle I’m not even going to tackle. I just love that he cooks me dinner.
These Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Burgers are a favourite of his to make. I always get excited when I see him whip out the slow cooker on a Saturday or Sunday morning – because there’s a fair chance these yummy burgers are happening. The pulled pork has the most amazingly sweet sauce… and the meat literally falls apart in your mouth. Amazing!
Dave usually serves these on toasted burgers or rolls with the BEST Asian slaw you’ll ever eat (a must-make). Oh and because he’s not the slightest bit fussed about carbs, there’s generally crispy potatoes on the side too. You can see why I love it when he cooks, right!? I definitely married well!
And so there you have it – Dave’s Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Burgers! You absolutely MUST make these. Or better yet, get your hubby or kids to make it for you.

I know this will sound pretty obvious, but to serve more just double the recipe? Same cooking time? X
Yep that should be fine!! As long as you can fit it all in your slow cooker!! xx
This is so yummy. I made it for our family because the meat was on sale at the supermarket. The sauce was amazing. figure licking. It would have been even better if I had a good coleslaw to go with it but my husband and my daughter didn’t complain about my simple version. This will be a a family favorite from now on. Thank you so much.
Yay!!! Thanks Helen! I’m so glad you liked it!! This is a yummy slaw that goes really well with it too (if you make it again!): https://bakeplaysmile.com/asian-slaw-with-satay-dressing/

Absolutely!!!!
Hi there, what would be the recommended cooking time in a pressure cooker?
Thanks!
Hi Joan, I’m not sure sorry! I don’t actually have a pressure cooker!
