FAQ

Can I use store-bought pulled pork?

Yes, pre-cooked pulled pork from the store works great. Just heat it with the BBQ sauce as directed.

How do I make this recipe ahead of time?

Prepare the coleslaw and pulled pork separately, then assemble just before serving to keep the buns from getting soggy.

Can I use a different protein?

Absolutely! Shredded chicken or beef would also work well with the same BBQ and coleslaw toppings.
