Homemade BBQ Pulled Pork Pizzas

 My husband got a smoker a few years ago for Father's day and he loves to smoke meat on Sundays. Often when he smokes a pork butt (also called a pork shoulder) he smokes two of them then we shred the pork, eat some for dinner that night and freeze the rest for quick and easy dinners. 

That said I've been having fun coming up with new ways to serve the pulled pork. One of our favorite pizza places makes a pulled pork pizza the guys love and I just knew I could recreate it at home easily. It was a huge hit with the family.   


It was so easy to make too; I don't have amounts listed since you can make one small pizza, one large pizza, many pizzas, etc... plus I also didn't measure!  

Ingredients:

  • pizza dough-- use your favorite handmade or store bought variety
  • BBQ sauce-- we like a homemade version but any BBQ sauce is fine
  • pulled pork-- our pulled pork is frozen without BBQ sauce since we smoke our own but even the stuff from your grocery store that has BBQ sauce in it will work. 
  • Shredded cheddar or Monterey jack; I used a combination of the two
  • sliced green onions 

To assemble: 

I cut our dough into 4 individual sized pizzas and spread them out on my baking sheet using some parchment paper and oil to help keep them from sticking. I preheated the oven to 500 degrees. 

I used several tablespoons worth of BBQ sauce for each pizza; spreading a generous layer just like I would typically spread pizza sauce. 

I sprinkled a single layer of leftover pulled pork on top of the sauce then topped that with a handful or two of shredded cheese. Then finished them off with some sliced green onions.

 

I popped the trays into the preheated oven and baked them for 10 minutes. Until the pork was bubbling and the cheese was lightly browned and melted. 

They were delicious!

    Looks and sounds really good! What a good idea to keep some cooked meat in the freezer for when you need quick meals.

      I do that quite often; when we make pot roast I cook up two and put leftovers in the freezer already cut up and ready to use in a second recipe another day.

    it's always fun to make your own pizza. These look great; we don't eat pork but i'm sure other meats would be great too.
    cheers

      I bet it would. I'm not a big pork or meat eater myself but I'll happily cook it up for my guys.

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

21 Pilots The Clancy Tour Breach 2025

Image
Last Tuesday, September 30th, Evan and I had tickets to see 21 Pilots in concert in Hartford Ct. The show was at an indoor/outdoor venue called the Xfinity Center (not to be confused with the other indoor/outdoor Xfinitiy Center in Massachusetts). We had never been to the Xfinity Center and had no idea what to expect. Reviews online were not favorable but we really enjoyed it. I'll liberally sprinkle photos in around all the details, feel free to skip them and just look- most of the details are for me to remember anyway!  I wore comfy clothes with large pockets so I didn't need to bring a bag with me. I carried just my phone (with my credit card tucked inside), keys, and ear plugs. We were surprised to find ourselves so close to the stage! We got an email a few days prior outlining what time the parking lots and various things opened including the doors and decided to switch up our plans a lot. Originally we were going to arrive around 6 for the 8 o'clock show but the parki...

Share Our Lives: Our Go To Snacks

Image
This month for Share Our lives we're talking about our go to snacks.  I honestly don't snack much anymore. I eat 3 main meals a day and rarely have an afternoon snack or any food after dinner. That said there are certain times of year or certain activities that bring on the snacking.  In summer I love ice cream. I try to hard to not indulge too much and won't keep it in the house. Around us ice cream places are only open from late spring until Labor day... or maybe mid-Sept. depending on the owner's whims.      Weekly hiking with our hiking group or my daily hikes with Evan rarely require any snacking/food but when Ben and I are on a trip or go on an all day summit hike I feel like I've more than earned some treats. We often pack trail mix but I do like one with lots of chocolate included!     On our Glacier National Park trip my husband and I splurged on a box of Nutty Bars and by the end of the week we had polished off the whole box.  I don...

Recipes We've been Making Lately

Image
By the end of summer I'm usually struggling with new and creative ways to eat all the veggies we get in our CSA boxes. My boys aren't the greatest about eating their veggies so I'm always looking for new ways to sneak veggies into our diet.  In putting this post together I found it rather ironic that nearly all of the recipes included cheese of some kind since I really try to limit our diary/cheese. We honestly eat cheese less than once a week but for whatever reason most new recipes we tried these past few months were quite cheese and dairy heavy.   I made these eggplant meatballs to go with our spaghetti and homemade marinara one night. I roasted the eggplant in the oven along with the garlic and 1/2 an onion (diced). Then I followed the rest of the recipe as is. Again my family surprised me by eating them all (the recipe only made a dozen or so). Next time I'd like to try swapping out the cheese with some form of ground meat since we're trying so hard to get away...
