Pulled pork BBQ can be served year-round, especially when it’s made in the slow cooker. And, there is a large selection of side dishes that go well with pulled pork bbq sandwiches.
Plus, you can serve the barbecue side dishes at home, church, the office, or a barbecue party any time of year.
The Best Pork Recipe

There are several ways to cook barbecue pulled pork for sandwiches. The slow cooker is one of my favorite and the easiest way to cook it.
You only need to add a few ingredients to the slow cooker and get it started for the main dish.
Get your cut of pork, barbecue sauce, some brown sugar, minced garlic, and a few other ingredients and you’ve got some fork tender meat comin’ up.
And, once it cooks you can pile some shredded meat over a nice bun, and add those side dishes to the plate.
