Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs pre-cooked ham or small ham roast
- 1 cup Dr Pepper
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 12 slider buns
- Pickles (optional)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Place the ham into the slow cooker. Slice into smaller chunks if necessary.
- In a saucepan, combine Dr Pepper, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Pour the glaze over the ham in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours until the ham is tender and easily shredded.
- Shred the ham using two forks or tongs directly in the slow cooker. Stir to coat evenly with the glaze.
- Brush slider buns with melted butter and toast lightly in a skillet or oven until golden and warm.
- Fill each bun with a generous scoop of pulled ham. Add pickles if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
Use pre-cooked ham for convenience. Toasting the buns adds flavor and prevents sogginess. Customize toppings with coleslaw, pickled onions, or jalapeños.
