BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches (Pressure Cooker)
BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches (Pressure Cooker)
In keeping with my theme of making things from scratch, plenty of shortcuts here if you wish to use those for cost savings.
Ingredients
- pork shoulder, OR make from a shortcut
- BBQ sauce, OR make from a shortcut
- light rye bread, OR make from a shortcut
- onion, sliced
- dill pickle slices, OR make from a shortcut
- Provolone cheese, sliced
Instructions
- For tender and juicy pork, use of a pressure cooker is highly recommended. You can cook the pork anyway you prefer. There is a link in Recipe Notes for how I prepare pork shoulder/butt in a pressure cooker. Amount of pork is up to you, when I make this I use 1 1/2 kilos (3 lbs).
- After the pork is cooked, place on a cutting board and use two forks to shred it, then place the pork in your slow cooker and set to Low setting.
- Add BBQ sauce as needed to coat all the shredded pork. Leave the pork on Low for about 30 minutes to heat everything through.
- When the pulled pork is good and hot, lay out a slice of rye bread, then add a slice of onion, as thick as you like it, add some pickle slices.
- Scoop on some hot BBQ pulled pork.
- Top that with sliced Provolone, as many slices as you like.
- Top with another slice of rye and enjoy. (Great photo except for the fly on the sandwich, oh well, it happens.)
Notes
Low cost, well under $1 per sandwich.
Shortcuts: Pork Shoulder/Butt (Pressure Cooker), Light Rye Bread, Fridge Pickles, BBQ Sauce.
Variants. 1. Use a cheese of your choice. 2. Use lettuce in place of the onion or in addition to the onion. 3. Leave out the pickles or replace with hot peppers. 4. Use sandwich rolls in place of rye bread, or use any bread you like.
Common type of sandwich.
I made this on 11 April 2018, perfect results, as expected, I just used white sandwich bread this time, my homemade pickles, and Provolone cheese, excellent.
