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.

      If you liked pulled pork you'll like it on pizza, I'm sure. I don't even like pulled pork and I though this was pretty good.

    What do you add to the pork as you're smoking it? We don't have a smoker, but I do like to buy those pork shoulders and cook them in the slo-cooker. Then, you have meat already cooked and ready to go.

      As far as i know he puts a spice rub on the pork shoulder then spritzes it with apple juice or apple cider vinegar as it smokes.

    To this day, I still crave a pulled pork pizza we had when out one night listening to jazz music! I have yet to recreate the flavors (as I remember them) at home but I'll definitely give your version a try! (It could be that I just have fond memories of the evening... listening to good music, eating a yummy pizza and sipping on a lovely glass of wine!). LOL!

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

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...

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 ...

15 Family Restaurant Games

Image
When my boys were little and we'd take them out to eat I kept a small bag of toys in the car to grab on our way into any restaurant.  That way they would be entertained and a bit quieter while we enjoyed our meal. Now that the boys are older we don't keep a bag of toys handy but we do have few games we use to keep the boys occupied if they start getting bored or squirmy while we're waiting for our food or our check. While there are many phone apps, portable gaming systems and electronic games that could occupy my kids we prefer to use the time together at restaurants to connect with one another and so we tend to play games like: Hangman--   any restaurant that has paper place mats works well for this.  We take turns picking  a word and drawing our hangman stand then take turns calling out letters and seeing if we can solve the puzzle.   Tic Tac Toe-- This works best with pen on paper place mats but we have played making a grid with butter knives ...

10 Most Popular Posts of All Time

Each year near the end of December/ beginning of January I share the top 10 posts of the year but this year, in particular, I have noticed some much older posts that are still bringing in lots of pageviews and thought it would be fun to look back and see a top 10 list of all time.  I started my blog in June of 2012 and while so many of my first posts were long blocky, chunky rambles without any real photos of us and our family I just can't bring myself to delete any of them as I really do enjoy looking back and seeing how my blog has change and grown over time. Not surprisingly all my top 10 posts are from more recent years.  I love to look at what is popular and try to figure out WHY each post is so popular. Most of the time I can't but I love to speculate anyway.  10. Our 2022 Disney/Universal Trip Day 1 & 2 has almost 2000 views. Who doesn't love Disney and the Magic Kingdom? 😊 9. My Would You rather; Fall Edition had well over 3,000 pageview. I do, however, thi...

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll.
