for the inspiration. I had some leftover pulled pork and bourbon BBQ sauce, and loved the idea of stuffing it in a biscuit. But I had a LOT of leftover pork, and I wanted to push the ratio a bit and try for a bigger version--biscuit pie. Mac and cheese is a natural pairing for pulled pork, so I figured why not throw some of that in there too. I wanted to keep things simple, so I mainly doctored up things we already had on hand.
Pulled Pork - leftover from a shoulder I split in half (50% pork burnt ends, 50% pulled pork). Somehow I didn't end up with any pics from that cook.
BBQ sauce - Sweet Baby Ray's with red wine vinegar, some rub, honey and this time I added some Weller in there too
Mac and Cheese - Simple Truth boxed shells and cheese with some extra triple cheddar added in
Biscuits - Pillsbury southern biscuits, straight from the can!
Now for the pictures. First up, the sauced pulled pork.
Base of the biscuit pie (half the biscuits combined, pressed out evenly in a cast iron, par-baked for about 10 min with a smaller cast iron on top to press it so it wouldn't rise.
Mac and cheese ready to go
Base layer of pork on the biscuit bottom, then mac, then more bbq.
Topped with the other half of the biscuits pressed out, that I managed to stick my thumb through lol.
Halfway through I brushed it with melted butter mixed with some BBQ rub. 25 minutes later at 325, golden brown delicious!
Here's the interior AND the first slice.
I honestly couldn't have been any happier with how it turned out. Biscuit was cooked perfectly, and the flavor on everything was awesome. Went together great, and I'm ashamed how quickly I knocked out that whole pie.
