My Southern roots are calling again and the temptation was far too strong to resist! Anyone up for some pulled pork sandwiches topped with Southern style coleslaw? I thought so.
This is a great meal to make with your leftover barbecue. The cole slaw really adds a crunchy and creamy texture to the meal.
All we need is some sweet tea and a rocking chair and we’re set!
