What You Need  

  • ~3 cups of premade BBQ pulled pork, in BBQ sauce of choice  
  • 1 package of store-bought pie crusts (with 2 crusts)  
  • 2 onions, finely diced  
  • 1 cup of shredded cabbage

  • ½ cup of BBQ sauce   
  • Extra BBQ sauce for dipping 
  • 1 tbsp butter  
  • 1 tbsp flour  
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder 
  • 1 tbsp chili powder  

What You Do  

  • Preheat oven to 425.  
  • In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Then add onion, garlic, carrots and cabbage. Sauté everything for about 8-10 minutes, until the veggies are nice and soft. Then, mix in the flour, remove from heat and set to side.  
  • In a large bowl, add BBQ pulled pork, and mix in the veggies, BBQ sauce, and seasonings to create your filling.  
  • In a 9 inch pie pan, grease with a stick of butter or cooking spray.  Then prepare the pie crusts as directed on the container instructions, using one pie crust to coat the pie pan. 
  • Spoon the filling into the pie crust and work to spread evenly. Continue until full. Then top the with the second crust. Seal the edges together using a fork, and use a sharp knife to open small vents near the center. 
  • Before placing in oven, brush the top of the pie crust with olive oil and any additional seasoning.  
  • Then bake in the oven for 30-35minutes. During the last 20 minutes, cover the edges of the pie with foil to avoid burning the crust. 
  • Remove and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. 
  • Serve with extra BBQ sauce and enjoy!
