Sweet & Spicy Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat

  • 1/4 cup The Sweet & Spicy Signature Rub

  • 1 cup barbecue sauce

  • 12 hamburger buns

  • 2 cups coleslaw mix

  • 1/2 cup coleslaw dressing

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

  2. Rub the pork shoulder all over with 1/4 cup of The Sweet & Spicy Signature Rub, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

  3. Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a large baking dish or roasting pan. Cover it tightly with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in.

  4. Bake the pork in the preheated oven for 4 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C) and is tender enough to easily pull apart with a fork. This will result in juicy pulled pork that melts in your mouth!

  5. While the pork is cooking, prepare the coleslaw. In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix and coleslaw dressing. Toss until the cabbage is well coated. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill until ready to serve.

  6. Once the pork is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces, discarding any large pieces of fat.

  7. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded pork with 1 cup of barbecue sauce, stirring until the meat is evenly coated with the sauce.

  8. To assemble the sandwiches, place a generous portion of the pulled pork mixture on the bottom half of each hamburger bun. Top with a spoonful of coleslaw, then place the top half of the bun on top.

  9. Serve the pulled pork sandwiches warm, and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet and spicy flavors!
