Assemble the Sandwiches
Once the pork is done, shred it with two forks and mix it with the barbecue sauce in the slow cooker. Toast the sandwich buns if desired. Assemble the sandwiches by placing pulled pork on the bottom half of each bun, topping with coleslaw and pickled onions, then placing the other half of the bun on top.
