BBQ Pulled Pork Buns

The combination of smoky, sweet, and tangy flavors in pulled pork is a crowd-pleaser for sure. These pulled pork buns are incredibly versatile. You only need 4 simple ingredients to make these, and you can decide whether to make your own pulled pork or not, which will save time.

Whenever we set these out on the table at a barbecue, it takes no time for everyone to dig right in. Once you see them, you’ll understand. They are really irresistible, both in visual appeal and flavor.

Helpful Tips

1. Go easy or make it yourself – The flexibility of this recipes is so great. You can buy all of the components pre-made, so it takes very little time to put them together. If you want to make the pork yourself, that’s always an option.
2. Choose a good BBQ Sauce – One of the main components for flavor is the BBQ sauce, so be sure to choose one you really like. I use Sweet Baby Ray’s Original.
3. Serve it hot – While you can mix up the rolls in advance and have them ready to put in the oven, you should plan to serve these hot. They have the most flavor and texture when they’re straight from the oven.
