A perfect pulled pork sandwich is one that can be eaten one of two ways: wrapped up tight in foil so you can hold it in your hands, or loose on a bun while you hover over a plate so the drippings and excess meat fall somewhere safe for you to eat afterwards! Soaked in a sauce that tempts a dieter out of their health-conscious cocoons, they’re normally prepared on buns so soft that half the joy is in knowing that half your sandwich will drop to the dish for you to continue enjoying when you think all is finished!
In Texas, we’ve practically perfected such delicious goodness as these. But for those who have yet to find their go-to recipe, Simply Recipes has posted one that is well worth the time it will take to prepare. In their version, they admittedly pile the pulled pork on top of the bun in use and eat it with a knife and fork – almost like a sloppy joe, only better. A wonderfully warm dish that goes great on a cool fall evening or makes a hearty winter supper, this version has just the right amount of added spice and makes great use of your slow-cooker, so you don’t have to worry about doing any of the heavy-lifting!
