Instructions
- If making homemade Crockpot Pulled Pork, prepare first, then proceed with next steps.
Prepare sauce and slaw:
- Whisk together BBQ mayo ingredients in a small bowl, and set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
- Whisk together slaw dressing, and toss with broccoli slaw mix/ coleslaw mix. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
Assembly and Baking:
- Cut rolls in half, separating tops and bottoms. Place on a cookie sheet, and place under oven’s broiler on high for 1-3 minutes, until lightly toasted.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place bottom buns in a large ceramic baking dish or on a parchment lined sheet pan.
- Spread and even layer of BBQ mayo on bottom buns.
- Add pork in even layer, using a slotted spoon, and leaving behind excess liquid.
- Top with even layer of sliced pepper jack cheese (it will overlap some).
- Top with top buns.
- Melt butter (I do about 30 seconds in the microwave), and whisk in minced garlic.
- Brush garlic butter mixture evenly over top buns, and sprinkle tops with sesame seeds and poppy seeds.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden and cheese is melted.
- Once baked, add coleslaw, if desired.
