Recipe Tips
- While broiling isn't a requirement for this easy dinner idea, it gives the pork crispy edges like traditional barbecue bark, which adds texture and smoky flavor. If you’re in a rush, serve the pork straight from the slow cooker. It’ll still be delicious.
- You can use regular burger buns or swap them out for brioche buns or pretzel buns.
- When serving the pork on sandwiches, feel free to throw some extra bbq sauce on top.
- Tired of sandwiches? Make it a platter instead. Serve the pulled pork and slaw alongside cornbread, mac and cheese, or baked beans. Or serve meat as shredded pork tacos, pork quesadillas, pork nachos, etc.
