A full meal on one spud. We bake a large russet potato until fluffy, split it and load it with smoked pulled pork, sharp cheddar, a pat of butter, a dab of sour cream, green onion, and a side of house BBQ sauce. Smoky, creamy, cheesy—pure Appalachian comfort.
Heating & Serving
-
Before heating: Remove the BBQ sauce cup (and sour cream if packed on the side).
-
Microwave: Vent lid; heat 2–3 min, then 30–60 sec more until hot.
-
Oven (best skin): 325°F in an oven-safe dish, 10–12 min covered.
-
Finish: Add the sauce after heating so sugars don’t burn. Garnish with green onion.
