Pulled pork sandwiches are an all time favorite in my family.
This recipe is my favorite way to prepare them.
All year long this delicious sandwich is on our dinner time menu.
Luscious shredded pork drenched in sweet bbq sauce topped with coleslaw on a soft roll, what’s not to love? I mean seriously!
I top it with a homemade bbq sauce and homemade coleslaw. Hubby likes sliced pickles on his. Put yours together however you like and enjoy!
BTW: Yes, I do indeed know, that this is in no way actually bbq. It’s braised pulled pork topped with a bbq sauce!

- 5-7 Pounds Pork Shoulder Roast
Dry Rub:
- 3 Tablespoons Dried Paprika
- 1 Tablespoon Dried Garlic Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar Packed
- 1 Tablespoon Dry Mustard
- 3 Tablespoon Salt

- Mix all dry rub ingredients together. Rub the spice blend all over the pork roast and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

whenever we can't decide what to eat, someone inevitably suggests pork bbq and everyone else inevitably says YEAH! i love the spices in your recipes here, and the pictures reveal something that looks absolutely perfect!
This looks amazing. I'm bookmarking it for sure.
I'm so pleased to see this recipe – most recipes for pulled pork seem to use a crockpot or slow cooker and I don't have one! I could definitely have one of those right now!
These sammies look so delicious! We love some pulled pork too.
Delicious sandwich.
Loved the photo x
Very nice. This has me craving BBQ for lunch!
Oh yummee, mommy!!!! This looks like a sandwich I could enjoy right now!!!!
This looks, and sounds, like a great recipe!
nothin in the world better… needs a thinner vinegar sauce though
Love this combination! Your pictures make it irresistable – I see pulled pork sandwiches in my weekend! Thanks,
Susan
This looks wonderful. I love the coleslaw on top.
You can't go wrong with Tyler and Paula! Great looking sammie, mouthwatering!
That's mouth-watering delicious! I have been wanting to make pulled pork for the longest time. I needed some inspiration!
I don't eat meat but my Hubs and kids do and my son has been begging for one of these sandwiches. He loves them and would eat them every day if we would let him!
Thank you for sharing my SITS day with me!
Pork and BBQ are big in the mountains where I live. Your recipe sounds great.
Sam
I just ate lunch and that picture looks so good I feel like I could eat it right now. As a second lunch!!
looks like best of both worlds if you ask me! i LOVE pulled pork!
I don't think that I've made pork bbq from scratch. Beef, yes. But not pork. I'm a big fan of pulled pork too. I love that you've borrowed and tweaked to get your own perfect bbq. I've found that everyone likes it just a little different. Some more spicy, some more saucy, some sweeter, and some like the vinegar. This sounds delicious!
That looks amazingly delish, I see you have been busy! I was just looking at some eggplants the other day wondering what I could do with them as they are so lovely! Your recipe was so timely!
This looks soooo good! We do pulled pork A LOT over here and just recently have added the cole slaw. SO yummy. Your combo of the 2 recipes sounds great and I am going to try pickles next time, that sounds good 🙂
Thanks for stopping by my site, I can't believe I haven't come across yours sooner. really great!
Yum! It looks mouthwateringly good Kathleen, great photo. I love Tyler's version too. Nice job!
Even if you need to differentiate this from true BBQ it has all the flavour and more.
With coleslaw like u said is the ultimate way to eat pulled pork. I love Tylers recipes, this is one I havent tried yet:)
What a delicious sandwich. My husband's favorite food is pulled pork and he would love this! We are also both fans of Paula Deen. Anything I've ever made from her recipes has always been good! Just have to watch that I don't cook her food everyday……I'd blow up!
Nice combination of spices and flavors. This would go over great with my family!
Ole Sweetie-Pi would LOVE this. Love the combo of different recipes to create a flavor that is yours.
Kathleen, we love pulled pork and the only way to ever eat it in my opinion is with coleslaw and on the sweeter side! 🙂 Looks delish! Great photo!
Goodness gracious! I ADORE pulled pork sandwiches and this one looks simply divine. I must try this recipe; thanks for sharing!
This is a gorgeous photo of a delicious sandwich! These are a favorite in my family too…I like the way you made this your own!
Yum! What an excellent photo. I love pulled pork sandwiches topped with coleslaw.
One of my all time favorite things to eat….the best thing about moving to the South…i never knew what pulled pork was when i lived in Jersey….I need to try your version….we like the sweet stuff too…
This looks like one incredible sandwich! I like how you borrowed a little from Tyler and Paula and made it your own. This post came at a great time because I have a pork shoulder in my freezer and I think it's calling my name 😀
Wow, this sandwich looks so amazing! I love bbq sauce in sandwiches. Yum!
seriously …that photograph is unbelieveable! This looks and sounds amazing!!!!
