Pulled Pork Dip Ingredients
- Softened Cream Cheese – always a favorite ingredient! It gets even better when warmed up!
- Pickled jalapeno slices – you can use fresh jalapeños if you want more crunch and more spice but I love the pickled ones. They are sweeter but still have a kick.
- Pre-made pulled pork – I like to buy my pulled pork UNsauced – so I can put my favorite bbq sauce with it!
- Barbecue sauce (if pork is unsauced) – Williamson Bros is my favorite because its a light sauce and so many seasonings!
- Shredded Cheddar cheese – you can use any combo of cheeses – cojack would be great as well!
Tips, Tricks & FAQs
How do you store and reheat leftover pulled pork dip?
Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in the oven for 20 minutes at 325º.
What kind of pulled pork should I use?
Anything will work! If you got fancy and smoked up a pork butts or even used a slow cooker to make your own smoky pulled pork – that works! If you buy a tub of the pre-made pulled pork at the grocery store – that works too! You need about a pound of meat for the dish I made but you can always add more!
Can you make this pulled pork dip in the slow cooker?
Yes! This takes a lot less time in the oven – but if you’re wanting to keep it warm longer – the slow cooker is perfect! Layer it up per the recipe and leave it on low for 2 hours – it will come out perfectly!
