So, last night I made my pulled pork sandwich with french fries. I usually make my own fries from potatoes, but I got home a lot later than usual and the frozen bag won! Cole slaw is on my pulled pork sandwich because it's good! I lived in North Carolina over a non-consecutive seven years. While there, I drank sweet tea and ate barbecue. North Carolina pulled pork sandwiches are often served with cole slaw, but many eat it on the sandwich. The first time I saw this, I screamed a big "EWAH!" McArthur had me to try it, along with a hot dog "Cook Out" style, which is with chili and cole slaw. Needless to say, I liked it! It's the only way I like barbecue sandwiches now. Look at it like a dressing on a sandwich, similar to mustard or mayonnaise (even though I secretly hate mayonnaise, which is why I can't use it in my slaw). I hope you give it a try, if you haven't already!

Instructions

1. Place pork loin in slow cooker and season. Cook on low for about 7 hours.
2. Pull pork apart using two forks, until stringy.
3. Add barbecue sauce and heat.
4. Cut up about 1/3 of an onion and place into a bowl with angel haired cole slaw mix.
5. Add celery seed and Marzetti's cole slaw dressing.
6. Cook french fries as desired.
7. Toast kaiser roll bun and prepare sandwich. Add a bit more barbecue sauce on top of pork and some slaw.

Supplies
