There’s something irresistibly satisfying about a stack of tender BBQ pork, sweet cornbread, and creamy slaw.

These Pulled Pork Cornbread Stacks deliver all the comfort of a backyard BBQ in one epic bite.

They’re easy enough for a casual family dinner but delicious enough to impress guests at your next get-together.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Smoky & juicy pork – Cooked low and slow in beer for unbeatable tenderness.

Bold flavor layers – Sweet cornbread, tangy slaw, and saucy BBQ in every bite.

Minimal effort, big results – Crockpot does most of the work for you.

Crowd-pleaser – A fun, hearty dish perfect for potlucks or parties.

Easy to prep ahead – Make the pork and slaw the day before for a stress-free meal.

Customizable heat – Add more jalapeño if you like it spicy, or keep it mild.

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Pulled pork – Slow-cooked for hours in beer until it falls apart.

BBQ sauce – Choose your favorite; sweet and smoky works best.

Cornbread – A simple Jiffy mix keeps things quick and easy.

Slaw mix – Cabbage and carrot combo adds fresh crunch.

Jalapeño – A kick of heat to balance the sweet and smoky.

Mayonnaise + vinegar – Creamy and tangy slaw dressing brings everything together.

Beer – Adds depth and moisture to the pork as it cooks.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Brown the pork first – A quick sear adds rich flavor before slow cooking.

Use flavorful beer – A lager or amber ale works great (avoid anything too bitter).

Cool before shredding – The pork will be easier to handle and won’t dry out.

Adjust slaw to taste – Make it creamier, tangier, or spicier based on your preferences.

Let cornbread cool fully – This helps it slice cleanly and stack neatly.

How to Make Pulled Pork Cornbread Stacks

Step 1: Cook the Pulled Pork

Sear the pork in a hot skillet until golden brown on all sides.

Transfer it to a slow cooker and pour in the beer and a splash of apple cider vinegar.

Cover and cook on low until the meat is fork-tender.

Once done, let it cool slightly before shredding and mixing with your favorite BBQ sauce.

Step 2: Mix the Slaw

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, both vinegars, sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Toss in the cabbage and carrot slaw mix along with the diced jalapeño.

Stir to combine and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 3: Bake the Cornbread

Prepare the cornbread according to package directions. Once baked, let it cool fully, then slice into even squares for stacking.

Step 4: Assemble the Stacks

Place a square of cornbread on a plate.

Pile it high with pulled pork, then drizzle with extra BBQ sauce.

Top with a generous spoonful of coleslaw—and enjoy every layer!

What to Serve It With

Pickled red onions or jalapeños for a zesty contrast

Grilled corn or baked beans for a BBQ sidekick

Sweet tea, lemonade, or cold beer

A green salad to lighten things up

Extra cornbread on the side—because why not?

Variations / Substitutions

Use rotisserie chicken – For a quick shortcut.

Make it spicier – Add hot sauce or use spicy BBQ sauce.

No beer? – Sub with broth, apple juice, or cola.

Try chipotle mayo – As a smoky twist for the slaw.

Use mini cornbread muffins – For party-friendly sliders.

Storage & Leftovers

Fridge – Store components separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days.

Reheat – Warm the pork gently in a skillet or microwave with a splash of water.

Freezer – Pulled pork freezes well; portion and freeze for up to 3 months.

Make-ahead tip – Slaw and pork taste even better the next day.

Cornbread – Wrap tightly and store at room temp for 2 days, or refrigerate.

FAQs

Can I cook the pork in the oven instead of a slow cooker?
Yes! Use a Dutch oven at 300°F for 3–4 hours until the pork is fork-tender.

What’s the best BBQ sauce for this recipe?
A thick, sweet, and tangy sauce like Sweet Baby Ray’s works beautifully, but feel free to use your favorite.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Definitely—cook the pork and mix the slaw a day in advance.

Assemble when ready to serve.

Is there a substitute for the beer?
Yes, you can use chicken broth, apple juice, or even cola for a similar tenderizing effect.

Do I need to sear the pork first?
It’s optional, but adds a rich, caramelized flavor to the finished dish.

How spicy is the slaw?
It’s mildly spicy with one jalapeño, but you can use more or less depending on your heat preference.

Can I make it gluten-free?
Yes—use a gluten-free cornbread mix and ensure your BBQ sauce and beer are GF-friendly.

Final Thoughts

It’s sweet, smoky, tangy, and just messy enough to be fun.

Whether you’re feeding a crowd or making a weekend dinner feel special, it’s a no-fail favorite that brings all the BBQ comfort—without needing to fire up the grill.
