No matter the season, these Quick & Easy Pulled Pork Pretzel Bun Sandwiches are the perfect meal to satisfy your cravings. Whether it’s a warm summer night or a cozy fall evening, this recipe is simple, delicious, and sure to please a crowd.
Sometimes, one ingredient inspires an entire recipe. For these sandwiches, it was the Pretzel Buns—soft, chewy, yet sturdy enough to hold all the flavorful fillings without falling apart. I love warming them in the oven before serving; it adds an extra touch of comfort. For toppings, I used spicy pickles, shredded cabbage, cheddar cheese, and Kinder’s Mild BBQ Sauce—all coming together for an unforgettable bite!
If you’ve ever made pulled pork from scratch, you know it can take hours. My hack? Use pre-made pork carnitas! I used Sam’s Club Member’s Mark Carnitas for this recipe, but Del Real Pork Carnitas works just as well. Simply cook, shred (if needed), and toss them in Kinder’s Mild BBQ Sauce—it’s sweet and perfectly complements the pork.
This recipe is also perfect for camping trips! It checks all the boxes:
✅ Easy to make
✅ Only 6 ingredients
✅ Feeds multiple families
Pair these sandwiches with corn, baked beans, and cold watermelon for a complete meal everyone will love.
