Cooking Steps
• Halve buns and toast until golden. Place pulled pork* in a large microwave-safe bowl; using two forks, shred into smaller pieces.
• To bowl with pork, add BBQ sauce, half the paprika, half the Steak Spice, 1 tsp vinegar, 1 tsp water, and a pinch of pepper. (For 4 servings, use all the paprika, all the Steak Spice, 2 tsp vinegar, and 2 tsp water.) Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes. Set aside until ready to use.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, 1 tsp vinegar, ¼ tsp sugar (2 tsp vinegar and ½ tsp sugar for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Add gouda to bottom buns and top with as much pork as you like. Top with pickle and as much slaw as you like. Close buns and divide sandos between plates. Serve with any remaining slaw, pickle, and pork on the side.
Pulled Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Absolutely loved! I definitely underestimated this sandwich for any other basic pulled pork sandwich. I was taken back how light and fresh this sandwich was and how well everything went together. This recipe is easy and clean up and extremely simple to put together. This is better than your basic pulled pork sandwiches so if you love pulled pork or are a foodie you need to try this recipe asap!
Easy recipe. Loved the mixture of the pulled pork with the slaw. This was my first time trying cole slaw ever! I'm not a mayo fan but I enjoyed this- probably because I controlled the mayo ratio. Very good recipe!
I loved this meal. I would love to see this more often. We usually go out to eat Pulled pork sandwiches but these were delicious and usually don't like coleslaw but this one was really good and not runny.
Love the pickles. Wish you would give them out with everything or sell them as a separate item in the market. Delicious. The sandos were ok. The pork was tasty and of good quality but the bread wasn't so good. Perhaps a sweeter hawaiian bun or sourdough toast would be preferable.
I could have eaten a hundred of these sandos! So flavorful and easy to make! Paired it with some Mac n cheese and it was wonderful.
As an employee in the warehouse, I see the pulled pork frozen and, I admit, I think it looks unappetizing, but thought out this stuff smells so amazing, and combined with the barbecue sauce from this recipe, I definitely will order this again. But, I would replace the Gouda cheese with cheddar.
This looked like it would taste horrible and it seemed to be very fatty. We did add more mayo to the slaw and a bit more BBQ to the sauce. We added our own side. However, it was surprisingly delicious and filling.
The meat was a little hard to pull apart but everything else was great. Be ready with a fork and a few napkins. Messy! Pickles were really good too!
Use half the coleslaw. Toast buns after pulling and mixing pork, but before heating - otherwise they've cooled down too much when you put everything together.
We eat a lot of pulled pork around here and the flavors on this one were a bit off. I think it may have been the steak seasoning. The bbq sauce flavor wasn't our favorite, but I think it would have been a salvageable meal if we had skipped the steak seasoning. Also, there was way more than 4 buns worth of pulled pork, it made it awkward to eat. The ease of preparing this meal was nice, we picked this one to eat on our busiest night of the week and the timing of getting it together was great.
