Ingredients for Barbecue Pork Sandwiches

  • Boneless Pork Roast
  • 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • Sandwich Bun

How to Make Barbecue Pork Sandwiches

  1. Place a 2-3 lb pork shoulder roast in a greased 3 1/2 to 5-quart slow cooker.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 medium yellow onion (chopped), 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce, and 1/4 cup honey.
  3. Pour the onion, barbecue sauce, and honey mixture evenly over the pork roast in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the pork is easily shredded with a fork.
  5. Once the pork is cooked through, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Using two forks, shred the pork. Mix some of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker into the shredded pork to keep it moist.
  7. Serve the shredded pork on your favorite sandwich rolls. Garnish with extra barbecue sauce, coleslaw, or your favorite toppings.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
