Ingredients for Barbecued Pork Sandwiches

  • Boneless Pork Roast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh Ground Pepper
  • 1 cup prepared barbecue sauce (your favorite flavor)
  • Hamburger Buns

How to Make Barbecued Pork Sandwiches

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Season the 3-lb boneless pork shoulder generously with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Heat a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat for 1 minute.
  4. Brown the pork shoulder on all sides, about 4 minutes per side, until nicely seared.
  5. Pour 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce into the Dutch oven.
  6. Cover the Dutch oven and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily shreds.
  7. Carefully remove the pork from the Dutch oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  8. Using two forks, shred the pork into thin pieces.
  9. Return the shredded pork to the Dutch oven. Stir gently to combine with the remaining sauce. Cook uncovered over medium heat for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.
  10. Place the hamburger rolls on a serving plate.
  11. Divide the pork mixture evenly among the rolls and spoon it into each roll.
  12. Serve immediately with coleslaw, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
