Tips
If you don't have hamburger buns on hand, you can serve the pork mixture over rice or noodles for a different twist. You can also add some spice to the pork mixture by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. If you want to make this recipe healthier, you can use a whole wheat bun and reduce the amount of BBQ sauce used.
When shredding the leftover pork, be sure to remove any excess fat or bone before adding it to the skillet. This will help reduce the amount of fat in the recipe and make it healthier overall.
If you want to add some additional veggies to this recipe, you can sauté some mushrooms or zucchini along with the onions and peppers. This will add some extra nutrients and flavor to the dish.
