Hawaiian Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Hawaiian pulled pork sandwiches are made by cooking a delicious pork shoulder smothered in brown sugar and BBQ sauce low and slow in the crockpot until fall-apart tender. Then, we use the meat to pile high on Hawaiian rolls topped with a slice of pineapple, Swiss cheese, and crunchy fried onions to make the BEST pulled pork sammies!

Ingredients
- 3 pound pork shoulder or butt roast
- ½ cup brown sugar plus 2 Tablespoons for rub
- 1 20 oz can pineapple rings
- 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
- 1 cup BBQ Sauce
- 16 Hawaiian rolls
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese quartered
- 1-2 cups French Fried Onions
Instructions
- Rub 2 tablespoons of brown sugar on all sides of the roast, then set the roast in a slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, mix together remaining brown sugar, juice from the can of pineapple, liquid smoke, and BBQ sauce. Pour on top of the roast. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 5-6 hours.
- Pull the roast from the slow cooker and shred it using 2 forks. Place it back into the slow cooker to absorb more juices.
- Build your sandwich by cutting each roll in half, the adding a slice of cheese, a heaping spoonful of pork, a pineapple ring (cut to size, if needed) and a sprinkle of fried onions.
