Description
Indulge in the Cheesy, Saucy Goodness of Monster BBQ Bacon Pulled Pork Cheese Bread Bowl Bombs
Ingredients
- 1 large round loaf of bread
- 2 cup cooked pulled pork
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled bacon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F to get it nice and toasty, ready to bake up your delicious creation.
2. Prepare Bread Bowl: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the top off the bread loaf and scoop out the soft interior, leaving a thick, sturdy shell behind. Don’t discard the removed bread just yet – we’ll put it to good use later!
3. Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked pulled pork, BBQ sauce, mozzarella, cheddar, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well incorporated.
4. Fill Bread Bowl: Spoon the flavorful filling mixture into the hollowed-out bread loaf, packing it in tightly to maximize that cheesy, saucy goodness.
5. Bake to Perfection: Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and pop it into the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the Monster BBQ Bacon Pulled Pork Cheese Bread Bowl Bombs from the oven, sprinkle with the reserved green onions, and serve warm, ready to be devoured with delight.
Notes
Choose the Right Bread: Opt for a large, sturdy round loaf, such as a sourdough or crusty Italian bread. This will provide a solid base to support the hearty filling without getting too soggy.
Avoid Overstuffing: While it’s tempting to pile on all the delicious ingredients, be mindful not to overfill the bread bowl. Leave enough room for the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld together perfectly.
Prevent Sogginess: To keep the bread bowl from getting too soggy, be sure to thoroughly drain any excess liquid from the pulled pork before mixing it with the other ingredients. Additionally, baking the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet helps ensure even heat distribution and a crisp exterior.
