This is another of my leftover pulled pork barbecue recipes. I always make a lot, and really I do that on purpose so we can freeze some for sandwiches, make Pulled Pork BBQ Spaghetti (recipe in another post) and make my now famous Barbecue Grits. This dish freezes well also. Recipe below:
Barbecue Grits
3 cups pulled pork barbecue
2 cups grits
2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter
2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup milk
8 oz mozzarella cheese
1 small jalapeño, finely chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 eggs, lightly beatenBoil 6 cups of water and 2 tsp salt. Gradually add grits, reduce heat to low and cover for about 5 minutes. Add butter, garlic powder, milk, cheese, jalapeño and onion and mix well. Remove from heat after cheese is melted and all ingredients are blended. Temper eggs and add to grits. Stir in pulled pork barbecue. Spray a 9×13 dish with non-stick spray before pouring grits into dish. At this point, the dish can be frozen and baked later (up to 3 months). To bake, thaw completely and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Cool slightly and serve warm. Reheats well too.
