Description

Here is a brain-dead easy finger food that would be great for entertaining. Isn’t there some big game coming up? Anyhow … what could be simpler than canned flaky biscuit dough rolled out to six-inch rounds, filled with pork then brushed with an egg wash and sprinkled with a little chili powder?

Ingredients

  • 1 can (16.3 Oz. Can) Flaky Canned Biscuits (I Used Pillsbury's Grands®)
  • 3 cups Pulled Or Roasted Pork, Chopped
  • 1 whole Egg White
  • 1 teaspoon Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Your Favorite BBQ Seasoning/rub
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350º.

Wisk the egg white and water together in a small bowl and set aside.

On a floured work surface, roll each biscuit into a six-inch round.

Place about 1/3 cup of the pork on one half of each round and sprinkle it with a dash of the seasoning.

Fold the exposed half of each round over the filling and pinch and roll to seal the edge.

Arrange the pockets on a sheet pan leaving about an inch between each.

Cut a one-inch slash in the top of each pocket.

Brush the top and seams of each pocket with the egg wash and sprinkle with a little chili powder.

Bake until golden brown (about 20 minutes).

Serve with barbecue sauce for dipping.

Enjoy!

I made these tonight! They were delicious. I used pre-flavored pulled pork and no chili powder and they still turned out great. I will definitely be repeating this recipe!

I am making pulled pork on sunday for a party and am sure I will have some leftover. I’m going to make these with the leftovers. Think you could freeze them?

Thank you for your pulled pork pockets recipe. They were a hit at our superbowl festivities, and the leftovers were viciously fought over the next day.

I just made these, using some other bread dough I had on hand. Very good idea. Love it.

I’ve used this recipe for leftover pulled pork and recently leftover pot roast and roasted potatoes. Thanks for the recipe! My hungry Army boys love it!

These were an excellent way to use up our leftover pork! We hadn’t really BBQ’d the pork so I added a little sauce to the inside of the pocket before cooking – so delicious! I also used ranchinmom2four’s flaky biscuit recipe (found here on tastykitchen – just look in her recipe box for “Easy Flaky Buttery Biscuits”) instead of the store bought biscuits and they worked really well! Using those biscuits, I set the oven at 450 and baked them for 13 minutes. Definitely making the family favorite list. Thanks for sharing it!

Thanks, Patiodadio: this is a great recipe and I never would have thought of it myself. It has become 12-y/o’s favorite recipe now.
While I am not the biggest fan of those canned biscuits by themselves, but I used them in the recipe and they were even better than the ones with homemade dough.
