Pulled Pork Sandwich with Broccoli Slaw #Recipe


I opened the front door this morning and there was a bite in the air, it was cold. The kids and I quickly gave hubby a kiss goodbye and sent him on his way and we hustled back inside for some nice warm indoor morning activities. The cold weather got me thinking about some of my favorite fall dinner dishes. One of my personal favorites is my husband’s Pulled Pork Sandwiches.

These pulled pork sandwiches are made in the Crockpot and they are delicious! They smell great and taste even better. They have a nice kick to them without going overboard in the spice department. I love them for a fall/winter meal and since it is a crock pot dish it is really simple to toss in and go about our day.

It is really easy to make this dish. It is also super tasty. But we are not done because we still have to throw together the broccoli slaw. I know this may not sound good, but I actually prefer broccoli slaw over regular coleslaw. An added bonus is the fact that it is ridiculously easy to throw together!

What you need for the Broccoli Slaw:
1 bag broccoli coleslaw (in the bagged salad section of the grocery store)
¼ cup Marzetti slaw dressing
¼ cup sunflower seeds

How to make the Broccoli Slaw:
Toss all ingredients in a Ziploc bag and mix it up until combined.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

When we eat this for a meal we use whole wheat buns and we toast them. We then take a big spoonful of the pulled pork and top it with a spoonful of the broccoli coleslaw. And then we devour it! This is a great cold weather meal and it is really easy to make. My husband makes this meal on the weekends when we know we are going to be super busy. I love it and I hope you do too!
