Total Time: 35 mins

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked and cooled white rice
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 cup bottled barbecue sauce , divided (such as Stubb’s)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese , plus more for garnish
• 1 cup sauceless pulled pork , hot (such as Curly’s)
• 1/3 cup shredded tri-color coleslaw mix
• 6 crinkle-cut dill pickle chips , quartered
• 2 tablespoons pickled red onions (such as Mezzetta)

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Stir together rice, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined.
3. Heat butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium until melted. Add half of the rice mixture to the hot skillet and use a flat spatula to flatten and cover the bottom of the skillet. Sprinkle evenly with Cheddar cheese, then layer remaining rice mixture over the cheese, pressing down to flatten.
4. Continue cooking over medium until rice sizzles and begins to brown and crisp around edges of skillet, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Place a large plate upside down over skillet. Holding both firmly, flip the skillet over so the rice is on the plate. Gently slide rice back into skillet. Cook over medium until a crust begins to form and edges are crisp, about 5 minutes.
6. Stir together pork and 6 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce in a small bowl until combined.
7. Slide rice onto a large plate. Top rice with pulled pork and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce. Top with coleslaw, dill pickle chips, pickled onions, and additional Cheddar.
8. Enjoy!
