Pulled pork stuffed in cheesy pasta shells topped with sweet barbecue sauce. This easy recipe uses leftover pulled pork and simple ingredients for a sweet and savory dinner.
I have been on a kick to stuff jumbo pasta shells with all the things of late, not dissimilar from my obsession with pizza and crepes. And with pulled pork being one of the literal easiest things ever, here we are with a DELICIOUS sweet and savory pulled pork stuffed shells dinner.
I used leftovers of my ridiculously easy Cola Pulled Pork on this occasion, and paired with otherwise equally-easy ingredients. Pasta shells and cheese, salt and pepper, and more cheese. YUM. This is a REALLY easy recipe and just so tasty!
