BBQ Pulled Pork Recipe Ideas

One of our family’s favorite recipes is the Best Instant Pot Pulled Pork. We love how great it tastes the first meal, but we also love using leftovers on Loaded Baked Potatoes, Loaded Nachos or freezing it for meal prep meals.

I took some extra pulled pork that we had left from our favorite Instant Pot recipe and looked at what we had in the refrigerator. Knowing that cheese makes everything better I grabbed a few cheese sticks, some sauce and a can of crescent rolls.

Our family has tested cheddar and marble cheese sticks. Our only preference is the type of cheese stick that we have on hand. And if we’re out of cheese sticks then shredded cheese will work too, it just takes a little longer to sprinkle in the center of the crescent. As long as you have cheese I support your decision!

Grease the baking sheet since there is a little bit of extra handling with this recipe. Unroll the sheet of dough and gently separate the pieces into triangles. I like to spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce on the dough. Add the cooked meat, the rest of the sauce and half of a stick of cheese at the wide end of each triangle.

Begin rolling the crescent dough around the cheese stick and place the open end on the bottom to help seal. Bake at 350º for about ten minutes or until the crescent is golden brown.

Twenty Minute Meal

A BBQ sandwich is nice, but it’s also nice to mix up meal options from time to time. Having young kids our family enjoys sliders more than sandwiches, but we enjoy a filled crescent roll even more than a slider! We love handheld food that is easy to pick-up and go. Because young kids and farmers are always on the go!

We like to add a bag of frozen steamable vegetables and enjoy an easy homecooked meal! Filled crescent rolls have also been reheated for a quick snack or appetizer a time or two in our kitchen.

These Easy BBQ Pulled Pork Crescents also make a great snack during parties, games or at a tailgate. Handheld food that doesn’t absolutely require a napkin and can be carried around the party is winning!

We hope you enjoy these bbq pork crescents as much as we do!
