This West Virginia Pork Barbecue Sandwich is literally a taste of my childhood! Ready in 10 minutes!

How a pork barbecue sandwich is supposed to taste! Easy to whip up for cookouts and backyard parties in less than 10 minutes.

West Virginia Pork Barbecue Sandwich

Growing up in West Virginia, cookouts always featured three main items: hamburgers, hot dogs, and barbecue sandwiches.

When I moved to Texas as an adult, the barbecue here confused me. I tried to order a BBQ sandwich at a renowned barbecue joint, but it was nothing like what I remembered from my childhood.

Where was the sauce??

Why were there just slabs of meat on bread??

Texas is famous for its barbecue, but nothing on the menu was recognizable to me!

In my mind, a barbecue sandwich = a soft bun piled high with barbecue pulled pork, topped with a generous heap of cole slaw…and maybe some more BBQ sauce. It’s a big sauce-y mess and it’s amazing!

This is my second year as an ambassador for Curly’s BBQ — they regularly send our family products to taste-test and use to create new original recipes. (Have I ever mentioned how much I love my job??)

The most recent product that appeared on our doorstep was Curly’s RoadTrip Eats West Coast Style IPA Pulled Pork.

Call it what you want, but as soon as I tasted a forkful during a brainstorming session with my husband, I was immediately transported back to the backyard cookouts of my childhood. This is the closest thing I’ve ever found out here to what we West Virginians call barbecue!

Related: We also used Curly’s IPA Pulled Pork to make “Loaded” Sweet Potato Donuts…it might sound strange, but trust me on this one!

I told my husband that I needed to make a West Virginia-style pulled pork BBQ sandwich. Just a bun, BBQ, and cole slaw.

Simple. Classic. Perfect.

Annnnnd, because we used Curly’s BBQ (pre-cooked and ready to go) this recipe literally takes just minutes to make!
