How to Make Barbecue Style Sandwiches

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Add 2 cups shredded leftover pork roast (or pulled pork) to the sauce. Simmer, covered, for 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is heated through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
  5. Spoon the delicious barbecue pork mixture onto the bottom halves of your favorite rolls. Top with the remaining roll halves and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
