Ingredients

Key Ingredients

  • Leftover Pulled Pork – When I make pulled pork, I make A LOT, so I always have extra for leftover pulled pork recipes!
  • BBQ Sauce – Use your favorite! My family’s favorite is Devil’s Spit (yes, it’s hot!)
  • Shredded Cheese – I use Pepper Jack for some spice, but you could use Monterey Jack or Mozzarella.
  • Bacon – Everything’s better with bacon.
  • Jalapenos – Sliced thin but optional.
  • English Muffins – Not all English muffins are created the same, so I like to use really good artisan English muffins. Mine are from my monthly Wildgrain subscription box (which I love, love, love—I’ve been subscribed for nearly five months! Curious? Read about my personal experience with Wildgrain—good and bad.)

Substitutions & Recipe Tips

  • If jalapenos aren’t your thing, add a couple of dill pickle slices instead.
  • If you really want it cheesy, you could use cheese slices instead of shredded cheese.
  • For smaller portions, cut into wedges or halves after baking.

Directions

Step 1: If you’re using Wildgrain English Muffins as I do, bake them according to the package directions. They go from freezer to oven and bake for 15 minutes, then rest for 5 minutes. Then you can slice them for this recipe (or griddle them in butter because they’re SO dang good like that.) For other English muffins, split them in half and toast them. Lay the halves cut side up on a baking sheet.

Step 2: Add pulled pork, BBQ sauce, shredded cheese, bacon and a couple of jalapeno slices, if using, on top of each English muffin half.

Step 3: Put under the broiler in the oven for several minutes until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown. Be sure to watch carefully—it doesn’t take long. (I usually use the middle rack of my oven to broil these, so they don’t burn as quickly.)

What to Serve with BBQ Pulled Pork English Muffins

This Easy Chicken Noodle Soup is scrumptious and this Apple Yogurt Salad is cool, crisp and refreshing. For dessert, these Symphony Brownies are out-of-this-world and the Raspberry Croissant Bread Pudding is made using the fluffy croissants (free for life!) that come with my Wildgrain box subscription.
