Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

These Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches are made with pork roast and slow-cooked in a sweet and savory Texas-style sauce of onion, root beer, barbecue sauce, garlic, and seasonings.Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches | Jennifer Cooks

This simple recipe is something you can throw together in a hurry and let simmer away while you're at work or busy doing other things.  As it cooks, your house will fill with the delicious smell of barbecued pulled pork, and will have your family craving a mouthwatering dinner!

I topped these sandwiches with my Classic Creamy Coleslaw, which makes a cool, crisp compliment to the tender meat.  You can also serve these sandwiches with dill pickle slices and more sliced onion.  I  like to butter and toast the buns before building the sandwiches because it tastes really good and helps the buns hold up to the juices and meat much better.  Refrigerate leftovers and eat within 3 days of cooking, or freeze them.  Leftover meat and juices can be frozen for up to 3 months in a airtight container or zip top freezer bag.  I hope you enjoy!
