Pulled pork is a staple barbecue food. Sure, it makes for a great pulled pork sandwich, but it’s also one of the best slow cooker meals out there. Since pulled pork is so tasty and versatile, it’d be a shame to waste it on the same old barbecue sandwich recipe you’ve been using for generations.
Since the sky is essentially the limit, make it into a chili or a soup, add some spices for a Mexican-style meal, or throw it into your favorite comfort food. We’ve rounded up some fun recipes to spice (or sweeten) up your pulled pork. Scroll down to check them out.

Peachy Pulled Pork Pizza
Before I get into the pork part of this (which is delicious), we need to talk about how amazing grilled peaches are.

Bourbon Pulled Pork Apple Slaw Sandwich
Okay, I’m cheating and throwing in a sandwich, but only because this recipe’s focus is entirely on the apple. Aside from the crunchy slaw (balanced by fennel), the pork in these easy-to-make sandwiches is soaked in an apple bourbon sauce. The recipe also suggests serving this on a pretzel bun, and I 100% recommend taking that advice. (If you want to make the sauce from scratch, try this Apple Bourbon BBQ Sauce recipe, or check out one with apple butter.) Get the Bourbon Pulled Pork Apple Slaw Sandwich recipe.
