If you’re looking for an amazing pulled pork sandwich recipe, look no further! This is the best way to make a pulled pork sandwich, and it’s sure to please everyone. The pork is cooked slowly in a smoker until it’s nice and tender, then it’s shredded and served on a bun with your favorite toppings. Yum!

To make this sandwich, you’ll need:

  • Pork shoulder

Next, heat up the BBQ sauce in a pot on the stove. Once it’s warmed, add the shredded pork and mix everything together.

Now it’s time to assemble the sandwiches! Start by adding some of the pork mixture to a bun, then top it with pickles and coleslaw, if you like. Serve immediately and enjoy!

This sandwich is so good, you’ll want to make it again and again.

Best cut of meat for pulled pork

Pork shoulder. It’s the perfect size for feeding a crowd, and it shreds beautifully once it’s cooked. It is the lower part of the pig’s shoulder and has a lot of connective tissue, which makes it ideal for slow cooking. Pork butt is another good option, but it’s a bit tougher and takes longer to cook.

Whichever cut you choose, be sure to trim off any excess fat before cooking. You can always add more fat later if needed, but it’s much harder to remove it.

When cooking pulled pork, use a dry rub. This is a mixture of spices that you rub all over the meat before cooking. It adds flavor and helps to create a nice crust on the outside of the meat.

There are endless possibilities when it comes to choosing a dry rub, a simple mixture of paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper will do the job. You can also add a bit of cumin for an extra smoky flavor.

Once the pork is rubbed with the spices, it’s time to cook.

How long do you cook pulled pork in the slow cooker?

Cooking time will depend on the size of your pork shoulder and the temperature of your slow cooker. Normally, it takes about eight hours on low, or four hours on high.

Keep in mind that cooking times may vary, so it’s always best to check the pork with a digital thermometer. The internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit before you shred it.

If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can also cook pulled pork in the oven. Just place the rubbed pork shoulder in a roasting pan and cook it at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about four hours.

Once the pork is cooked, it’s time to shred it.

To do this, simply remove the meat from the pot or pan and place it on a cutting board. Using two forks, pull the pork apart until it’s in small pieces.

If there are any large pieces of fat or gristle, you can remove them now.

Once the pork is shredded, it’s ready to be served. Serve it on a toasted bun with your favorite barbecue sauce, or enjoy it plain.

No matter how you choose to serve it, pulled pork is always a crowd-pleaser. So next time you’re feeding a group, give it a try! You won’t be disappointed.
