Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb Pre-cooked pulled pork
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 4 Hamburger buns

For the Quick Coleslaw

  • 4 cups Coleslaw mix
  • 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 0.25 tsp Salt
  • 0.125 tsp Black pepper

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pulled Pork

  • Heat the pre-cooked pulled pork in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the BBQ sauce and continue to heat for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the pork is fully coated and hot.

Make the Quick Coleslaw

  • While the pork is heating, combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  • Add the coleslaw mix to the dressing and toss thoroughly to coat all the vegetables. Set aside.

Assemble the Sandwiches

  • Lightly toast the hamburger buns if desired. Divide the hot pulled pork mixture evenly among the four buns.
  • Top each sandwich with a generous spoonful of the quick coleslaw. Serve immediately and enjoy your quick meal!

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to your pulled pork as it heats. You can also customize your coleslaw with other vegetables like shredded carrots or bell peppers. If you don't have pre-cooked pulled pork, this recipe will take much longer as pulled pork typically requires slow cooking for several hours.
