Baked Potato Stuffed with Barbecue Pulled Pork

That is an awfully timid looking potato. These are common in the Deep South and come two potatoes, end to end, absolutely stuffed with BBQ, butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and green onions.

@N Webb I was thinking the same thing. And I'm now craving one.

Still have some leftover pulled pork from the weekend lingering in the fridge? Give it a new life by mixing it with plenty of barbecue sauce and piling it into a warm baked potato. It's the main course and side dish wrapped into one, for a miracle meal that comes together quickly.

First, Bake Your Potato: 3 Ways

Before you can stuff your potato with this glorious filling, you've got to cook it. There are options aplenty, so choose what works best for you.

How To Bake a Potato in the Microwave: If you're in a hurry, take to the microwave. This gets the job done in about 10 minutes.

How To Bake a Potato in the Oven: The classic method produces ultra-crispy skin and a fluffy texture. You need close to an hour for this preparation, but the texture of the potato is superior. Bake a big batch on the weekend to have on hand throughout the week.

How To Bake a Potato in the Slow Cooker: Want to make sure you can have baked potatoes for dinner and don't want to wait the hour for them to cook when you get home? Choose the slow cooker. You'll need eight to 10 hours on low, so this is actually something that works with our workday — including the commute!

Mix about 1/2 cup of pulled pork with a few tablespoons of barbecue sauce and heat until warm.

Cut the cooked potato lengthwise and gently pull it open without splitting in half, then use a fork to fluff the inside of the potato. Fill with the warmed pulled pork, and serve immediately.
