Southern-style pulled pork takes hours to slow-cook, but you can enjoy the flavors in minutes using this technique with Canadian bacon. A quick sear on the bacon brings out its deep flavor and smokiness. In combination with the barbecue sauce, chili flakes and vinegar we mimic the southern favorite in just 25 minutes. These family-friendly sandwiches have a quick and crunchy slaw topping. Serve with some sweet potato fries for a delightful dinner or simple and fun lunch or use smaller buns and make sliders for a quick party app.
