Carolina Style Pulled Pork Sandwich

Recipe #116173 | ½ day | 30 min prep | add private note

I like to call this "The Worlds Greatest Sandwich". Cooked overnight in a crock pot, the meat is tender, juicy, and messy..the way a BBQ sandwich should be. Top it with your favorite cole slaw, and you have one tasty meal.

    OK, the meat came out tender and perfect BUT the BBQ sauce was not to my liking. I am NOT a fan of mustard and it just tasted like mustard to me. So I dumped that and used Jack Daniels Original BBQ sauce and it was PERFECT. I'll make this again, but just use my own sauce. TASTY!!!

    Melts in your mouth! We cooked it for 18 hours and it was well worth the wait. I think we could have cooked it for less, but it was not over done. We used 6 lbs of pork, so the next time perhaps we will try 4 lbs as there was not enough sauce to my liking. We used a food processor to cut the onions which worked out great. We used the mini rolls and I cut the roll in half lengthwise, added the pulled pork and some cheese and broiled it until the cheese started to bubble and brown - mmmm good!!
