BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches

BBQ pulled pork sandwiches are a beloved staple that bring the taste of outdoor grilling into your kitchen. Slow-cooked to perfection, the pork becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender, infused with a smoky, sweet barbecue flavor. Versatile and satisfying, these sandwiches are a hit at gatherings or as a comforting midweek treat.

For best results, choose a pork shoulder or butt, which offers the right balance of fat and meat, ensuring juicy, flavorful bites. While slow cooking provides depth, you can opt for a pressure cooker to save time. Feel free to experiment with different BBQ sauces—smoky, sweet, or spicy—to suit your preference.

Serve these delicious sandwiches on soft buns, topped with a crunchy coleslaw for texture. They're perfect for picnics, game days, or a cozy night in with the family. Pair them with baked beans or corn on the cob for a complete meal.
