This easy BBQ Pork Sandwich recipe will leave your family asking for more!

My family loves BBQ. It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, BBQ is a year ’round meal for us. Even my 8 year old son is a connoisseur. During the summer months we take weekend road trips and stopping at BBQ places is a favorite activity. We have a few local food trucks in our area and if my son had his choice, we would eat lunch there everyday.

Did you get an instant pot for Christmas? Now is the perfect time to pull it out of the cupboard and try it! If you don’t have an Instant Pot, this BBQ Pork Sandwich recipe can be made in a slow cooker. All you need is a 2-3 pound boneless pork shoulder and your favorite BBQ sauce. Combine them both for a delicious and easy meal.
