Pulled Pork Smashed Potato Bites was sponsored by Curly’s. All opinions are mine.
Sometimes half of the dinnertime battle is time. Unless I plan, which let’s be honest, is very rare, I am scrambling at 4:30, trying to find the ingredients needed for a meal that I am throwing together at the last minute. I have a rolodex of easy recipes in my brain, and this one is a new favorite! The whole meal takes less than 30 minutes and really, it can be accomplished in about 15. I make it with Curly’s BBQ Pulled Pork, which is a perfect way to celebrate Curly’s 30th birthday! Curly’s helps me make quick and easy recipes in 30 minutes or less for my family, so let’s celebrate their birthday with something special! If you want to try serving delicious pulled pork for your family, you can find Curly’s BBQ in the refrigerated meat case in your local grocery store.
Since this is meant to be a quick meal, I like to serve it with pickles (that the kids always eat!) and roasted or steamed carrots. Pickles and barbecue always go well together!
The hubby was really impressed with this meal and I felt pretty proud that it all took less than 30 minutes and really, very little prep went into it. Curly’s pulled pork makes recipes like this seem very impressive and homemade. I love Curly’s barbecue sauce and hickory smoked pulled pork. It is out of this world. Just be sure you don’t eat it all before making these smashed potato bites!
