BBQ PULLED PORK SANDWICHES
This meal is one we always eat too much of. I recommend using Sweet Baby Ray's or Jack Daniel's original BBQ sauce. A good quality sauce makes a lot of difference. I serve it with my Sweet, Creamy Coleslaw #100526.

Steps:
- Make small holes all over the pork shoulder with a thin sharp knife and stuff in garlic cloves. Rub the meat all over with the Memphis Shake; cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Prepare an outdoor grill with an indirect medium-hot fire with a mix of briquettes and hardwood charcoal in half of the grill. Set grate over coals. Place pork, skin side up, in an aluminum pan with about 1 1/2 cups water on the cooler side of the grate. Toss 1 cup of the soaked and drained wood chips onto the coals and cover the grill, making sure the lid's vents are directly over pork.
- When the coals cool to medium-low heat, preheat a chimney-full of hot briquettes and hardwood charcoal. Whenever smoke stops coming out of the vents, about every hour, add more hot coals and 1 cup of soaked and drained wood chips to the fire. The goal is to maintain a medium-heat, smoky fire (but don't worry if it is hotter when the coals are added and cooler while preheating the coals). Rotate the pork when you add coals so it cooks evenly. Cook the meat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 180 degrees F, about 6 hours.
- Set aside 1 quart of the North Carolina-Style Vinegar BBQ Sauce. Once the pork reaches 180 degrees F, begin mopping the entire surface of the meat every 20 minutes with some of the remaining sauce and the pan drippings. Continue to cook the pork, covering the grill between mopping, until an instant-read thermometer registers 200 degrees F, about 1 to 2 hours more.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for at least 15 minutes. Remove the outer skin and discard. Cut large chunks from the bone and shred, using 2 forks or your fingers, (when cool enough to touch) or chop. Toss with about 1 cup of the reserved barbecue sauce for every 3 cups of meat. Tuck the pork into the soft rolls and serve with pickles.
- Whisk paprika, brown sugar, oregano, garlic, ancho powder, salt, and celery salt in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 months.
- Heat the vinegar and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Off the heat, stir in the ketchup, honey, salt, red pepper, and black pepper.

BBQ PULLED PORK SANDWICHES
Preparing pork roast in the slow cooker makes it so moist and tender...so it's perfect for these sandwiches. The meat shreds easily, and the cumin and garlic add just the right flavor. The sourdough bread, chipotle mayonnaise, cheese and tomato make it complete.-Tiffany Martinez, Aliso Viejo, California

This is by far the best pulled pork sandwich I have made by far. Even though it takes such a long time to roast, and the basting process, it's well worth it!! This is an Emeril Lagasse recipe. This takes about 20 minutes active prep time, 4 hours and 30 minutes inactive prep time. and 7 Hours of cooking.

Steps:
- Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before proceeding. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Season the roast well on all sides with the Essence, salt, and cayenne pepper. Place a roasting rack inside the roasting pan and place the seasoned pork on the rack, fat side up. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 4 hours.
- Remove the foil from the roast and continue to bake until the roast is very tender and will pull apart easily with a fork, about 2 hours longer. Remove the pork from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Remove any excess fat from the roast and discard if desired; I just love the crunchy bits of skin left on top! Using 2 forks or your hands, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. Serve with sauce and buns to make sandwiches.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Add the garlic, paprika, Essence, ground mustard, salt, crushed red pepper, black pepper, and cayenne pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, or until the tomato paste begins to brown. Add the water, cider vinegar, and dark brown sugar, and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have come together, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Set aside to cool before using. The sauce may be made up to 1 week in advance and refrigerated in an airtight, non-reactive container.

Steps:
- 1. Pour the can of beef broth into slow cooker and add boneless pork ribs. Cook on high heat for 4 to 8 hours, or until meat shreds easily. (I cook 8 hrs, because I put it on before work, even w/ frozen pork and it's done when I get home).
- 2. Remove meat from liquid. (I save the liquid for my homemade vegetable soup and put it in a bowl in the freezer) Using two forks, pull meat apart to shred it. It may not seem like it's working right away, but keep working at it and it will.
- 3. Stir in the entire bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce (I use sweet, but use whatever is your favorite). Cover and cook on high for another 30 minutes or until completely heated through. Fill hamburger buns.

PULLED PORK SANDWICHES WITH HOMEMADE BBQ SAUCE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:
- Step 1, Make the Creole Seasoning ("Bayou Blast") Set aside2 tsp of the seasoning for the BBQ sauce. Step 2 - Prepare the pork with a Weber: Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before proceeding. Season the roast well on all sides with the Essence, salt, and cayenne pepper. Prepare the briquettes using a "chimney". (I never use lighter fluid). Soak wood chips for 30 minutes, drain. Set one (or two) foil pans into the center of the grill. When the briquettes are white, pour onto one half of the weber, then set soaked chips on top of the coals. Place the seasoned pork above the pans (not on directly on the coals). Cover and open vent holes 3/4's (over the meat, opposite the coals). After one hour, the meat should begin to have a crust. Add more briquettes and chips. Every hour, add more briquettes (and chips, if desired) until cooked to 195F. We cooked a 4 pound pork shoulder butt and it was ready in about 4 1/2 hours. OVEN DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 300F. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Season the roast well on all sides with the Essence, salt, and cayenne pepper. Place a roasting rack inside the roasting pan and place the seasoned pork on the rack, fat side up. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 4 hours. Remove the foil from the roast and continue to bake until the roast is very tender and will pull apart easily with a fork, about 2 hours longer. Remove the pork from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Remove any excess fat from the roast and discard if desired. The safest way to pull pork is to wear clean rubber gloves, simply grab the pork and pull. Or, you can use two forks to shred the pork. You can serve the pork several different ways. We prefer to let people add their own BBQ sauce and to decide if they want to stack the cole slaw on top or eat it on the side. Some people like to serve this between white bread and with a pickle-- I like to make homemade hamburger buns and add some BBQ sauce. The Weber technique imparts the most delicious smoky taste and make delicious "burn ends"-- the crunchy, crusty pork crust... so good!
PULLED PORK SANDWICHES WITH COLE SLAW AND BBQ SAUCE

Steps:
- 1. Rinse pork roast and cut into 4 chunks. Put pork chunks into slow cooker.
- 2. Pour bottle of BBQ sauce over the pork, stir. Put the lid on and slow cook for 3-4 hours on high or for 6-8 hours on low. Will easily pull apart when done.
- 3. When pork is done remove from slow cooker, place in a medium bowl and pull it apart/shred with 2 forks. Add as much BBQ sauce from slow cooker as needed and mix well.
- 4. Prepare sandwiches. Add cheese, crispy fried onions or cole slaw, if desired. I prefer mine without cole slaw, but some people like it that way. Serve with your favorite soup or salad.
Tips:
- For the best pulled pork, use a pork shoulder or butt roast. These cuts are well-marbled and will yield tender, flavorful meat.
- Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder, but don't remove all of it. The fat will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Season the pork shoulder generously with your favorite rub. A good rub will include a mix of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors.
- Cook the pork shoulder in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
- Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks or a pair of meat claws.
- Serve the pulled pork on buns or rolls with your favorite barbecue sauce. Coleslaw, pickles, and onions are also popular toppings.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you're serving it on sandwiches, tacos, or nachos, pulled pork is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make pulled pork at home in your slow cooker.
