Ingredients

  • 1 pound pulled pork (warmed)
  • 3 small sweet potatoes
  • ⅓ cup coarsely crushed pecans
  • BBQ Sauce
  • Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork a couple times on the top and bottom.
  • Place sweet potato on baking sheet and bake for ~1 hour, or until tender when pierced with a fork. The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of the potato.
  • Cutting lengthwise, cut down the center of the potato to split it open, but do not cut all the way through to the bottom.
  • Sprinkle each open face of the potato generously with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of crushed pecans inside potato then add ~⅓ cup pulled pork, and finally top with another tablespoon of pecans.
  • Drizzle BBQ sauce, to taste, over the stuffed sweet potato.
  • Serve immediately

Notes

This can be made with whatever sized sweet potatoes you have on hand, but I find the smaller than average ones to be ideal serving sizes.
