Hawaiian Pulled Pork Sandwiches
These delicious sandwiches are easy to make and perfect for summer gatherings.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 16 oz teriyaki sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 red or yellow onion, diced
- 1 20 oz can pineapple rings in juice
- 3½ lbs boneless pork shoulder or pork loin
- 8 hamburger buns
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, onion, and the juice from the can of pineapple rings. Refrigerate the rings to use later.
- Add the pork shoulder to your slow cooker and pour the sauce mixture over the top. Place the lid on the slow cooker, and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until pork is tender and cooked through.
- Transfer the pork to a separate plate and use two forks to shred it.
- Discard half the liquid from the slow cooker, then transfer the shredded pork back into the slow cooker to soak in the remaining liquid.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat. Add the reserved pineapple slices and cook on both sides until slightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing a generous scoop of pulled pork on each bun, topping with a slice of the "grilled" pineapple, and if desired top it all off with homemade coleslaw.
