Easy BBQ Pulled Pork Crescents
Only four ingredients and 20 minutes are needed to have this snack, meal or appetizer of BBQ Pulled Pork Crescent Rolls on the table!
An Easy Pulled Pork Appetizer
My family loves BBQ pulled pork and we’re always looking for easy meal ideas. Leftover BBQ pulled pork makes this meal taste great and comes together really quickly.
Our family has two favorite ways to make shredded pork. We love our all-day Farmhouse Pulled Pork or the quicker Instant Pot Pulled Pork. We love how great BBQ pork tastes the first meal, but we also love using leftovers on Loaded Baked Potatoes, Pork Nachos or freezing it for meal prep meals.
We’ll often enjoy this recipe as an appetizer or snack during a party, but when we make it as a main dish we love serving it with our Velveeta Crock Pot Mac and Cheese. This meal is comfort food at it’s finest!
We always have refrigerated crescent roll dough on hand to make Crescent Roll Tacos, Breakfast Pizza with Crescent Rolls, and Easy Cinnamon Crescent Rolls.
We like to add a bag of frozen, steamable vegetables and enjoy an easy home cooked meal!
Ingredients Needed
- Refrigerated crescent dough
- Pulled or shredded pork
- Cheddar or marble cheese sticks
- BBQ Sauce
- Keep the dough a cold as possible and minimize handling to make it easier to work with.
- Our family has tested cheddar and marble cheese sticks – we prefer the type that we have on hand. Shredded cheese works too, it just takes more time to place on the pork.
- We really like Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce, but when we have 15 minutes we also enjoy whipping up a batch of Farmhouse Barbecue Sauce.
- These BBQ Pulled Pork Crescent Rolls are like Pulled Pork Waffle Fries as they make a great snack during parties, games or at a tailgate.
How to Make BBQ Pulled Pork Crescent Rolls
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Unroll crescent dough and separate into individual triangles.
- Add warm BBQ pulled pork to crescents.
- Add half of a cheese stick to each crescent.
- Roll up the crescent around the cheese stick.
- Bake about 12 – 15 minutes until crescent dough is baked through and golden brown.
We hope you enjoy these bbq pork crescents as much as we do!

I made these last night and they were delicious! Since the meat is to be warm, I put my bbq sauce and meat in a pan and heated them up together. I then cut small pieces of red onion. When meat was ready I put it directly on the crescent roll with no extra bbq sauce than in the pan. I topped with red onions! You could do bacon crumbled up as well and it would be yummy. I used block cheddar cheese and cut it like a cheese stick. Then rolled them up! Next time I’m going to try some a littke white melting cheese on top of the meat which should be wonderful! I will be making these again and again! I made it like a bbq pizza! Enjoy!!
So glad to hear you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks for sharing these notes 🙂
