Barbecue Pulled Pork Mac And Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix pulled pork and barbecue sauce. Spoon evenly in baking dish.
• In 4-quart saucepan, cook and drain macaroni as directed on package, using minimum cook time.
• In same saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Beat in flour, salt, garlic powder and pepper with whisk until thickened. Cook 1 minute longer. Beat in milk. Heat to boiling over high heat, stirring frequently; boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in 3 cups of the cheese until melted. Stir in macaroni; pour into baking dish over pork layer. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup cheese on top.
• In small bowl, mix bread crumbs and melted butter; stir until combined. Sprinkle over macaroni mixture.
• Bake 36 to 38 minutes or until mixture is bubbly (at least 165°F in center) and bread crumbs are browned.

Steps:

• Put 6 tablespoons butter and the mayonnaise in the bowl of a stand mixer; beat with the paddle attachment until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Set aside.
• Spread the macaroni and cheese in an 8-inch-square baking dish to about 3/4 inch thick. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 45 minutes. Cut the macaroni and cheese into squares that are slightly smaller than the bread slices.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until caramelized, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the barbecue sauce and pulled pork in a saucepan over low heat and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• Generously spread the butter-mayonnaise mixture on one side of each bread slice. Flip over half of the bread slices; layer 1 slice of cheddar, 1 macaroni-and-cheese square and another slice of cheddar on each. Top each with one-quarter of the pulled pork and caramelized onions and another slice of cheddar. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered-side up.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Working in batches, cook the sandwiches until the cheese melts and the bread is golden, about 5 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Rub the pork with the BBQ Rub, then place in a pan with the vinegar. Cover with plastic and foil, then roast for 3 to 4 hours. Let cool, then remove the fat cap and bone and shred the pork.
• Heat 3 ounces pulled pork. Place the macaroni and Cheese Sauce in a saucepan and cook on medium heat until hot. Place the macaroni and cheese in a bowl, then top with the pork, BBQ sauce, smoked Cheddar and green onion. (Reserve the remaining ingredients for more servings or another use.)
• Combine the chile powder, paprika, salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, crushed red pepper, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon and ginger in a bowl.
• Place the brown sugar and ketchup in a bowl and mix well. Add the vinegar, mustard, hot sauce, paprika, pepper, salt, Worcestershire and 1 cup water and continue to mix until well blended and the sugar has dissolved.
• Melt the butter in a pot, then add the flour, stirring until smooth. Cook for 3 minutes. Add the milk, cream, salt and pepper. Cook on medium heat, stirring often, until thickened. Turn off the heat and add the cheese. Stir until melted.
