Dive into Deliciousness: Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich Recipe with All the Fixings!

Calling all BBQ enthusiasts! Get ready to sink your teeth into a flavor explosion with this smoked pulled pork sandwich recipe. This recipe combines the smoky goodness of my BBQ Pulled Pork with the tangy sweetness of my Homemade BBQ Sauce and the refreshing crunch of my Homemade Coleslaw for a truly irresistible culinary experience.

Why Smoke Your Pulled Pork?

Smoking your pork tenderloin infuses it with a unique, smoky flavor that traditional oven-baked methods simply can’t replicate. This low and slow cooking process also results in tender, fall-apart meat that practically melts in your mouth.

Beyond the Store-Bought:

This recipe encourages you to embrace homemade goodness by using my easy-to-follow recipes for the BBQ sauce and coleslaw. Trust me, they’ll blow your store-bought options out of the water!

Ready to Craft Your Masterpiece?

Here’s what you need to gather:

Ingredients:

Smoked Pork Tenderloin or BBQ Pulled Pork: Use my recipes for perfectly smoked, tender meat.
Homemade BBQ Sauce: Follow my recipe to create your perfect flavor profile.
Homemade Coleslaw: My recipe delivers a refreshing and crunchy counterpoint to the smoky pork.
Toasted Onion Rolls: These add a touch of sweetness and savory flavor to the sandwich.

Putting it All Together:

Prepare the Pork: Once your Smoked Pork Tenderloin is cooked and cooled, shred the meat using two forks or your hands. Discard any excess fat.
Warm Up the BBQ Sauce: Gently heat your Homemade BBQ Sauce in a saucepan over low heat until warm and slightly simmering. This helps enhance the flavors and makes it easier to coat the pork.
Toast the Buns: Toast your onion rolls in a buns toaster or grill pan until lightly golden brown and slightly crispy.
Assemble and Enjoy!: Now comes the fun part! Spread a generous amount of your warm BBQ sauce on the bottom bun. Top it with a pile of the shredded smoked pork, followed by a generous scoop of your homemade coleslaw. Top it all off with the other half of the toasted bun and prepare to be amazed!

Pro Tips:

Adjust the Spice: Don’t be afraid to adjust the amount of BBQ sauce to your preference. You can also add a sprinkle of my homemade BBQ rub to the shredded pork for an extra kick.
Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add other toppings to your liking, such as thinly sliced red onion, pickles, jalapenos, or even melted cheese.
Leftovers? No Problem! Leftover pulled pork can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan with a splash of water or broth to avoid drying out. Leftover pulled pork is also fantastic in tacos, quesadillas, or even breakfast burritos!

Beyond the Recipe:

This recipe provides a fantastic starting point, but don’t be afraid to experiment! Try different BBQ sauce variations, explore other coleslaw recipes, or even use different types of rolls. The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility and ability to be customized to your unique preferences. If you want to make this in less time, you can use store-bought barbecue sauce and cole slaw, but I highly recommend making the smoked pork yourself! We have also made this same sandwich with smoked salmon instead of the smoked pork. It is absolutely delicious!
