Ever wonder what to do with all those pulled pork leftovers? My husband loves smoking and when he does; he typically smokes large pieces of meat. We are a family of 4 … so using up the leftovers can sometimes be a daunting task. Now, I love my pulled pork sandwiches but two days in a row is typically enough before I am wondering what to do with the rest of the ALL leftover pulled pork.

Enter Pulled Pork Shepherd’s Pie. I am not much of a casserole fan. I will admit, I would typically roll my nose up to the traditional Shepherd’s Pie. However, switching up the ground beef for some pulled pork and tangy BBQ can really liven up this dish! I will be honest, I was skeptical when I began playing around with this dish; but I was pleasantly surprised with the results. To top it off; it really is one of those quick and easy, weeknight meals that you can throw together after getting home from work.

One more quick note: I typically don’t measure the BBQ sauce! It can really vary depending on how much pulled pork is left-over. The key is that you really want the pulled pork completely covered in the BBQ sauce. A dry pulled pork shepherd’s pie is no good at all (trust me, I know from experience!). If you think it doesn’t look coated enough…. add some more. I really don’t think you can have to much of the gooey goodness.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

  • Approx. 5 Cups of leftover pulled pork

  • 1 Cup Frozen or Canned Corn
  • 6-8 Large Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • 2 TBSP Butter
  • 2 TBSP Cream Cheese
  • 1/8 Cup Peppercorn Ranch Dressing

  • Large Spoon or Spatula
  • Potato Masher or Electric Hand Held Blender

Instructions

  • Wash and peel potatoes. Cut into halves or quarters and place in a large pot of water. Boil potatoes until they are tender enough to pierce easily with a fork. Drain the potatoes. Once drained, add the butter, cream cheese, ranch dressing, milk, and salt and pepper to the potatoes. Mash or blend with a hand held electric blender (I prefer the hand held electric blender for a smoother consistency). Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Toss pulled pork well with bbq sauce (see previous note: the more sauce the better!). Spread the pulled pork and bbq sauce mixture across the entire bottom of the 9 x 13 pan.
