Pineapple Pulled Pork Sandwiches Recipe
Our pineapple pulled pork sandwiches are delicious, Hawaiian-inspired pulled pork recipe cooked in the slow cooker.
Serving8 servings
Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds Pork Roast, (a pork shoulder or pork butt will work best, a pork loin roast might dry out)
- 1 Tablespoon chili powder
- 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 8 ounces crushed pineapple, (1 can)
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- ½ cup BBQ Sauce
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely diced
- 8 Hawaiian Hamburger Buns, (or any kind of bun)
Equipment
- 2 Fork
Instructions
- Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place pork roast in the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, mix together all seasonings. Rub seasoning on the outside of the pork roast until all sides all covered.
- In a mixing bowl, combine onion, pineapple, pineapple juice, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and jalapeños. Pour sauce on top of pork roast.
- Cook on low heat for 8-10 hours (or high heat for 5-6, but I feel like the pork is more tender if you cook it on low).
- Shred the meat with 2 forks and serve on buns.
- If desired, you can top it with pineapple slices, slices of red onion, sliced jalapeños, or anything else you want.
Notes
A pork shoulder or pork butt will work best, a pork loin roast might dry out.
While you do not need a fat separator for this recipe, if you would like to make gravy to go with the pulled pork sandwiches, it works great for holding the cups of the skimmed broth produced from the large pieces of fat in the roast.
Another great way to store it is in the freezer to pull out the frozen pork later for an easy 5-star rating dinner.
