Instant Pot BBQ Pulled Pork & Creamy Coleslaw

Post Contents

Here is a little something about me: I can’t pass up a good sale on groceries. It is a severe issue.ย  I do need a chest freezer.ย  In my opinion, a vacuum sealer is one of the best inventions known to man.ย  Of course, a good Sharpie rounds it all out.ย ย 

So when I saw pork shoulder-butt on sale, I had to get it.ย  The fact it was about six pounds of pork for one person did not phase me at all. The first thing I did was cut it in half, freeze it for an hour before vacuuming, sealing it for it to stay in the freezer.ย 

About a month later, the desire for pulled pork and carnitas hit all at once.ย  Even with about two and a half pounds of shoulder butt, I knew that was still too much for me.ย  So I did the most logical thing.ย  I cut it in half.ย  One side for BBQ pulled pork and the other for carnitasย in this post.

Another thing I love doing is combining two recipes to make one, then tweaking it if need be to make it more like my own.ย  For this recipe, I took a little bit from hereย by Food Networkย and a little bit from hereย by The Kitchn.ย  I altered the quantities to fix the amount of pork I was using.ย  Honestly, aside from the brown sugar, I combined the two recipes.ย 

What was unique about this pulled pork is going to be low carb!ย  Recently I discovered G. Hughes sugar-free BBQ sauce. They are so good to me!ย  ย Currently, I am using the Hickory, but there are several other flavors and teriyaki sauce, and sweet chili.ย  I had hamburger bunsย byย Solaย from Meijer. For the low-carb coleslaw, I took some inspiration from Wholesome Yum.

Put it all together, and you have the picture above!ย  It was so delicious, and I didn’t even miss the sugar.ย  It was nice to enjoy such a wonderful treat. Why don’t you try Instant Pot BBQ pulled pork & creamy coleslaw this weekend?
