Favorite use for pork butt leftovers?

Teefus · August 7

I did a 1/2 a pork butt (one cheek

) today. There are just the two of us at Casa Teefus so we have a bunch left over. What are your favorite uses for leftover pulled pork? We’ll be doing tacos one night, but would like to hear what other Eggers like.

Carolina Hash for something different…. Pan fry to crisp like carnitas always good

Should time and equipment allow, I would advocate for vac sealing and freezing. So easy to reheat (sous vide works great for this) at a moment’s notice. Buy buns and a salad and you’re ready for a party.

Highlights for us have been pulled pork eggs Benedict (first enjoyed at a restaurant in Washington, D.C. before recreating at home) and pulled pork nachos.

You can add it to Mac and cheese. Or I have a recipe for pulled pork chili in one of my cook books.

brunswick stew — freeze some stew in quarts or whatever for an easy one pot winter meal for 2. smoke a couple turkey legs to add in you want.

Pulled pork and slaw tacos, nachos, add the pulled pork and a can of chopped up apple pie filling to your favorite baked beans

Simple here-roll into breakfast scrambled eggs, enhanced with chopped jalas, mexican cheese and then load into tortillas. Way to kick start your day, every day!

Great suggestions. Tacos and Breakfast meat have been my regular "Go To" options, but the Eggs Benedict sounds awesome. The Mac and Cheese sounds like a good option too. I wish I had a vac seal system, but just rely on freezer bags.

always fall back on the standard abt with pulled pork. pork, baked hot peppers and bacon makes a great grilled cheese, or parmesian crust the jalapenos onto the grill cheese like this

I absolutely love hash. Any chance that you might share your Carolina recipe ?

Carnitas for us. Throw it in a large skillet with a little oil, peppers, onions, and seasonings. Always a winner. I've made asian lettuce wraps as well with leftover pulled pork.

I pretty much do Leroy and Lewis version ...I keep pork stock on hand made from all my full spare trimmings and smoked ( lots of collagen in the chine bones )

Pulled pork is the omnimeat... so good in just about any variation/version you can come up with.

Besides what has already been mentioned - Ramen. Empanadas. Bao/buns. Pot pie. Pasta sauce. Chili. Fried rice. Egg rolls.
