Instructions
 

For the Root Beer Pulled Pork

  • Liberally coat the Boston butt with the seasoned salt. Place it in the crock of a slow cooker. Pour the root beer around the edges. Add the liquid smoke. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours until the meat shreds easily.
  • Remove the meat from the slow cooker and allow it to cool until easily handled. Shred the meat with two large forks, discarding the fat. Set aside.

For the Sweet and Spicy Slaw

  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, and sriracha to make the dressing. Adjust sriracha to taste for spiciness. Mix the dressing with the slaw mix and place it in the fridge.

For the Cornbread Waffles

  • Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cornbread mix, milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix until smooth. Use the batter to make waffles as directed by the waffle iron manufacturer.

To make the sandwiches

  • Slice the waffles into 4 pieces. Place a heaping amount of pulled pork on top of one of the waffle sections. Top with BBQ sauce and a large scoop of slaw. Cap with another waffle section and enjoy!

Notes

Using a Belgian waffle maker can yield 3 waffles per batch.
