Terran-Style BBQ Pork Sandwiches
with Dill Pickle & Roasted Potato Rounds
- Wheat
- Soy
This Terran-style satisfier may be a lil' messy, but, like Peter Quill (a.k.a. Star-Lord), it will never let your crew down. Tender ground pork is simmered in BBQ sauce, and kicked up with ketchup and smoky ancho chili powder for extra-bold flavor. It’s piled into toasted ciabattas, topped with tangy pickle slices, and served with seasoned roasted potato rounds. Now, dust off that old Walkman, pop in your own awesome mixtape, and let’s get cookin’!

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Slice potatoes into ¼-inch-thick rounds. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until lightly browned and tender, 18-20 minutes.
• While potatoes roast, halve, peel, and dice onion. Halve ciabattas. • In a small bowl, combine BBQ sauce, ketchup, chili powder, stock concentrate, half the cornstarch (all for 4 servings), and 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4).
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add pork*; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned, 3-5 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in the next step).
• Stir BBQ sauce mixture to pan with pork. Cook, stirring, until sauce has thickened and pork is cooked through, 2-3 minutes more. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat.
• While filling cooks, toast ciabattas until golden brown.
• Fill ciabattas with as much pork filling and sliced pickle as you like. Divide sandwiches between plates. Serve with potato rounds and any remaining pickle on the side.
Ground Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160º.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the BBQ sauce and pickles, though some found it bland; adding cheese or coleslaw boosted flavor 🍲.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, with easy-to-follow instructions that even kids could help with.
- Suggestions: Consider using pulled pork instead of ground; try a softer bun for easier eating.
- Leftovers: Reheats well; some added cheese when warming up for extra flavor.
- Texture: Ground pork made it similar to sloppy joes; ciabatta was too firm for some.
Reviews from our home cooks
I thought it was gonna be like a BBQ pulled pork sandwich, but it was more like a BBQ pork sloppy joe which made me LOVE it even more. I sliced the potatoes very thin and air fried them and made crispy chips.
So yummy and easy to put together! We all loved these sandwiches and my kids loved the roasted potato rounds too.
Surprisingly good. I expect generic BBQ (which is still good) but it had a slight difference to the flavor profile that worked. Fry seasoning is bland to me at this point, so the potatoes could have used a little something extra but they were still worth eating.
Great take on the sloppy joe with perfect bread paired for the sandwich. Love the fry seasoning on the potatoes
Ok. So, we were getting ready to go to Disneyland the week we got this dish, it actually got us so excited to see the new Guardians movie also. Good job all on that marketing move! As for the meal, we devoured it, the pork was delicious, the pickles were the perfect tang against the sweetness, homerun on the flavors.
The BBQ pork sandwiches were delicious but the chips didn't turn out. Half were burnt and the other half were floppy. I used a mandolin slicer for evenly cut potatoes and I turned the tray halfway through for them to cook evenly but they didn't. Next time I will just roast wedges or cubes.
Easy and tasty. Could make 4 total sandwiches. Didn't like the potato discs, they didn't bake well, would have preferred wedge fries
Would have been better with a meat other than pork. Still quite delicious though. Really liked the pickles with the bbq sauce.
Very easy recipe! Takes little time! I added cheddar cheese to my sandwiches and sliced the potatoes thin for homemade chips. Pretty good homemade "sloppy joes"
LOVED those pickles! Id love to see them in more recipes. And prefer these potatoes to the wedges. Id love to see some version of this stick around.
