Summer is fast approaching, which means it’s time to start enjoying dinner outside! This pulled pork recipe is great because it takes very little effort, but you still get all of that delicious summertime flavor. The coleslaw adds the perfect amount of tang and crunch. The toasted brioche bun is buttery and crispy, and the pulled pork is tender and bursting with flavor.

For a true “set it and forget it” recipe you can make this in a slow cooker. Set on low add all of the ingredients and cook for 8 hours.
