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!

January 23, 2010 at 5:53 pmI'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!

January 21, 2010 at 12:28 amI 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!

January 20, 2010 at 6:55 pmlooks like best of both worlds if you ask me! i LOVE pulled pork!
Krista says
January 20, 2010 at 6:12 pmI 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!
Cheryl says
January 20, 2010 at 4:25 pmThat 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!

January 20, 2010 at 1:14 pmThis 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!

Bellini Valli says
January 20, 2010 at 12:55 pmEven if you need to differentiate this from true BBQ it has all the flavour and more.
Donna-FFW says
January 20, 2010 at 12:39 pmWith coleslaw like u said is the ultimate way to eat pulled pork. I love Tylers recipes, this is one I havent tried yet:)
Debbie says
January 20, 2010 at 12:10 pmWhat 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!
Mags says
