Any Appetizer ideas for leftover Pulled Pork?

Posts: 2,466
I'm going to a party this weekend and was trying to think of a good appetizer I can make with some of the pulled pork butt I have vacuum sealed and frozen. Any thoughts?
I was trying to think of a dip or spread option that I can either keep in a crock pot or bake in the oven (put out like an artichoke dip).
Open to ideas if you have something that has worked well in the past. I don't want to mess with sandwiches or anything like that. If I did that, I'd bring fresh made pork. I'm also trying to thin out the freezer.
One idea was I can look up one of those buffalo chicken dips people are always making (cheese, hot sauce and pulled chicken) but instead throw in my pork. Or maybe I just make an artichoke dip, but add in the pork. OR, if all else fails... velveeta, pulled pork, smoked paprika, & hot sauce.

Pull pork nachos are most excellent. Not really an appetizer but love me some pulled pork fried rice as well. Sliders also make a great app but know you aren't in for sammies.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax

Nacho bar with pulled pork is a good idea. If you have access to a deep fryer pulled pork egg rolls or stuffed wontons are always a hit as well.

Pulled pork loaded ABT's. ABT's are always a hit, just mix the PP with your favorite cheese (heat level crowd dependent), load up the jalas and have at it.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.

Thanks for all the ideas so far, guys.
I don't have a fryer (although wontons and eggrolls sound nice) and I don't want to keep the meat plain because then I have to worry about keeping it moist and such at someone else's party.
Thinking of dips and spreads.
Quesadillas sound good also. I guess I can make a pile at home, heat them up in the oven when I get there. Easy finger food.

I think the list of apps that wouldn’t be better with pulled pork is shorter.

Take half of a canned flaky biscuit, line a muffin pan with them. Mix the pulled pork with cream and cheddar cheeses plus chopped raw jalapeños. Bake indirect at 350 until the biscuit is done or about 15 minutes. This recipe originally for about half a cooked strip of bacon per biscuit half crumbled in. I’ll look up exact quantities on request.

A twist on ABT's - large dill pickles cut lengthwise, seeded, stuffed with cheese and pulled pork, wrapped in bacon, and smoked.
Trust me, they're killer.South Jersey Pine Barrens. XL BGE , Assassin 24, Weber Kettle, CharBroil gasser, AMNPS -
The OP didn't want to mess with sammiches, and most of the above suggestions are more complicated.
But, sorry, I don't have any good suggestion either (pulled pork smoothies, while easy to make, didn't go over well for me)._____________"Pro-Life" would be twenty students graduating from Sandy Hook next month

Mainegg from the old forum, had a recipe for ABT dip that sounded terrific. I would imagine it would work well with pulled pork instead of (or in addition to) bacon.

I'm not 100% clear on what we have here though. Is this like an open face biscuit/pork pizza thing or do you put a top on them? It sounds like something that would still be good even as they cool down while sitting out.

A couple other ideas I can think of. Chopped pulled pork added to some baked beans and a little BBQ sauce. Or Brunswick stew in your crockpot.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

8 slices of thick cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 can flaked canned biscuits like Grands pull each in half from the side not the top.
6 jalapeños deseeded and chopped
8 ounces of cream cheese at room temperature
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350F(or indirect egg). Cook bacon until crisp, draining excess fat on paper towels then crumble. Line each hole in a muffin tin with half a biscuit like a pie shell(up the sides also). Spoon in the mix of the above ingredients and bake for about 15 minutes. Each recipe yield 16.
I'll be making a double recipe for the family get together on the 31st since they go fast. I would allow about half a pound of pulled pork per batch going by how much thick cut bacon weighs if you substitute pulled pork for the bacon. If you try it let me know how it turns.
