The best BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches have tender pork coated in bbq sauce and served on a bun with a crunchy, tangy pineapple slaw. I'm telling you, the crowd will go wild!
Not your average BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Not your average BBQ Pulled Pork SandwichesYes, the base of these sandwiched uses traditional pulled pork, but the real star of the show is the pineapple mango slaw it's paired with! The flavor combo, and extra crunch is absolutely FIRE (as my 12-year-old would say).
If you're in a hurry, Costco's smoked pulled pork also works great for this recipe. And alternately, if you want to go the extra mile I highly recommend using homemade BBQ sauce.
How to make BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches:
Cook Pork: Make our pulled pork recipe in the slow cooker, oven, or instant pot. Shred meat with forks then stir in BBQ sauce, until all the meat is coated.
Make slaw and serve: The slaw is the easiest; add the veggies to one bowl and dressing ingredients to another. Then simply toss to combine. Refrigerator it for at least an hour, until ready to serve. Assemble homemade pulled pork sandwiches by placing the BBQ pulled pork on buns then top with slaw (or serve it on the side, if you'd rather).

I love this recipe. The slow cooker pulled pork is my fo to now for all pulled pork recipes! It’s in my slow cooker right now doe a church function tomorrow.
How much broccoli slaw is “1 bag broccoli slaw”?
I tend to buy a 12 or 16 ounce bag, depending on the store i’m shopping at! Feel free to use your own judgement as to the ratio of other ingredients (bell pepper, pineapple, mango, etc) to slaw for this recipe!
Super delicious!! My husband ate SIX of these!!
The flavor of these is so amazing. The mango slaw adds the perfect fruity bite to the sandwich.
This looks amazing! But where is the recipe?
Hi Tara, I’m so sorry, my site is having technical problems with the recipe card when viewed on a desktop or tablet device. You will be able to see the recipe if you pull it up on your mobile phone. I’m trying to resolve the problem ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience!
We LOVE pulled pork sandwiches with coleslaw on top! I will have to try this version, minus the pineapple – the hubs is allergic. Boo!
This slaw sounds amazing. I love varied slaw recipes and I never thought to put mango in it. What a good flavor combination. I have to make some of this. Thanks for sharing.
Wishes for tasty dishes,
