Pull out the old crockpot, because you're going to love this slow cooker bbq pulled pork sandwich recipe. This sandwich takes tender, pulled pork shoulder, slathers it in your favorite BBQ sauce, tops it with coleslaw, and then swaps out bland store-bought buns for two hot, crispy, Kodiak Thick & Fluffy Power Waffles. These bigger, better, toaster ready waffles were made for holding together extra-hearty meals like this one. So, grab the napkins and dig in!
