Store any leftover pork chops and coleslaw separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap each cooked pork chop in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator before reheating in the oven at 350°F until warmed through. Assemble sandwiches with fresh buns and coleslaw.
