Ingredients
  

For the sandwich

  • 4 bakery fresh buns use a hefty bun that won’t sog out quickly.
  • 2 cups pulled pork  sauced or unsauced
  • 1/4 cup extra BBQ sauce add as much as you like!
  • 1 cup coleslaw use your favorite or a bagged coleslaw mix with dressing
  • 1/2 cup pickled red onion recipe below

For quick pickled red onions

  • 1 red onion peeled and sliced thinly
  • 1/2 cup water
  • ½ cup cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, combine water, cider vinegar, and sugar. Simmer over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool. Add sliced red onions and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Warm pulled pork in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave. Stir in a splash of BBQ sauce to keep moist.
  • Prepare coleslaw by tossing pre-bagged mix or chopped vegetables with dressing. Set aside.
  • Split buns in half. Layer pulled pork on bottom bun, drizzle with extra BBQ sauce if desired, top with coleslaw, and add pickled onions.
  • Press top bun gently and serve immediately.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Use leftover pulled pork for convenience; just reheat and go.
  • If your pulled pork isn’t sauced, try mixing in a favorite BBQ sauce for added flavor.
  • Keep extra BBQ sauce on the table for anyone who wants more of that smoky goodness.
  • For a shortcut, a bagged coleslaw mix with a pre-made dressing works great.
  • Let the pickled onions sit in the fridge for a few hours or even overnight for a deeper flavor.
