How to Make a BBQ Smoking Menu For A Crowd

Pulled Pork sandwiches are a great option for any family gathering. It's delicious and can feed at least 6 people. Since I had company on Saturday, we decided to do pulled pork sandwiches. I wanted to share our entire BBQ Smoking menu and where we found the recipes so that you, too, can recreate this menu for your gathering.

Instructions on how to make BBQ Smokin' Menu For A Crowd

Make the Pasta Salad the night before

First, I made the Pasta Salad recipe I shared earlier this year.  Here is the link again. I made it the night before to be ready and cold the next day.

Make the Rub

We then looked up a rubbed recipe in Weber's Way to Grill: The Step-by-Step Guide to Expert Grilling (Sunset Books) and used their Pulled Pork Sandwiches. We only used one 4 pound pork shoulder.  It was wonderful.  

The recipe didn't say to do this, but we decided to apply the rub to the meat the night before. The ingredients were:

• chili powder (Affiliate Link)
• kosher salt
• granulated garlic
• black pepper
• dry mustard

Doesn't it look fantastic? We let it sit for about half an hour to infuse the flavors. 

Make Cole Slaw

We then made the Cole Slaw and used this recipe.  We used the recipe from the Food Network site. It is a great go-to Cole Slaw recipe.

Make a BBQ Sauce

We made the BBQ sauce. The ingredients in the photo below are as follows from the top left: vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar (Affiliate Link), Worcestershire sauce, granulated garlic, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Mix all these ingredients together and heat, then set aside.

The barbecue sauce was the basic style sauce.  We used this one from the Food Network site. The ingredients included brown sugar (Affiliate Link), ketchup, onion powder, etc...

And, here is the complete menu for a recent BBQ Smoking Menu! Doesn't it look fantastic!  It was delicious.  

Additional thoughts

We served it on brioche rolls. The pork shoulder served seven people, and almost everyone had two sandwiches. We also had leftover Cole Slaw and Pasta Salad.
