Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Trim, peel, and grate carrot on the largest holes of a box grater; transfer to a medium bowl. Halve buns.
• In a small bowl, combine BBQ sauce, ketchup, Southwest Spice, and 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4 servings). • To bowl with grated carrot, add cabbage, mayonnaise, sour cream, and 1½ tsp sugar (3 tsp for 4). Season with a big pinch of salt and pepper; toss to combine.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add pulled pork* and BBQ sauce mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until warmed through, 3-4 minutes.
• While filling cooks, toast buns directly on top oven rack until golden brown. Fill buns with pork and slaw. Divide sandwiches between plates. Serve with remaining slaw on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
One of the best meals I've had from Hello Fresh! The bbq pork was the perfect blend of sweet, spicy with a hint of smoky. I was also pleasantly surprised how good the cabbage slaw was. I could make a meal out of the slaw alone.
This was very quick and easy to make. The slaw on the sandwich really made it just right. The seasoning of the pulled pork was perfect amount of spicy.
This was very easy to make and very good. As usual, because my husband loves 'heat' in everything, I added some Cholula to both the cabbage slaw and BBQ mixture. Yummy.
I don't normally like slaw but the blend of carrots with the purple cabbage was good. There was plenty of meat to fill the sandwiches too.
Very delicious. I added some chopped onion to the slaw as it was too bland for my taste. The pulled pork was excellent!
Delicious! The slaw was very good as well as the flavor of the pulled pork. A WINNER ALL AROUND.
Very good! I was able to get three full meals out of this one. The offset of flavors between the spicy pulled pork and the slaw were perfect.
GREAT quick meal! The slaw is different but VERY tasty! Pulled pork was seasoned just right.
Quick and easy. Absolutely delicious...the coleslaw with the pulled pork were so flavorful and complimented each other.
The pulled pork was tender but we found the sauce too sweet and lacking the tang we like in a bbq sauce. The cole slaw was a nice touch.
