BBQ Pulled Pork Hash

Today I am sharing one of my favorite breakfast recipes: BBQ Pulled Pork Hash!

 

Have you ever gone through a food phase? For some reason, you are drawn to, almost obsessed with a certain type of food?

Right now my food phases are any type of potato hash prepared in a cast iron skillet with drippy eggs and watermelon (on the side). What a pair, huh?

And while I enjoy most of my hashes (I’ve created a few without cheese, not recommended), BBQ Pulled Pork Hash seems to stick with me. I crave it throughout the week and instead of cleaning out the fridge, have been known to visit the store just for its ingredients.

Why You’ll Love This BBQ Pulled Pork Hash

• Easy to prepare – This is a great way to repurpose pulled leftovers, and since you’re using leftovers, this recipe is a quick fix for any meal of the day. 
• Full of flavor – The sweet pulled pork pairs perfectly with the mellow potatoes while the onion and eggs add some depth to the dish. 
• Make it your own – You can change up nearly every ingredient in this recipe to make your own signature hash. 

Ingredients

You can easily find all of these bbq pulled pork hash ingredients at your local grocery store.

• Vegetable oil – Any neutral oil will work — canola oil, avocado oil, and olive oil will all work. 
• Hash browns – You can use either frozen or fresh. Frozen are great if you’re short on time, and fresh are great if you have potatoes that need used up.
• White onion – Dice the onion into small pieces of a similar size. You could use red onions instead if you’d like.
• Coarse kosher salt – If using a different salt, keep in mind different salts measure differently.
• BBQ pulled pork – This pulled pork breakfast hash is a great way to use up leftover pork. See the section below for some of my favorite recipes.
• Eggs – One of my favorite parts of this comfort food is the runny eggs! They really add to the taste and texture.
• Sharp cheddar cheese – I highly recommend shredding your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese are great for convenience, but are coated in a starchy mix that can dry out your cheese or greatly impact the texture when melted. 
• Scallions – These are used for garnish, so can easily be omitted. But they add great flavor and color to the dish.

Variations

There are several ways you can make this bbq pulled pork recipe your own. Here are a few suggestions.

• Heat – Add some spicy flavor to the hash by sprinkling in some crushed red pepper, cayenne, or hot sauce.
• Vegetables – In addition to the onion, stir in some other veggies like diced tomatoes or peppers like green bell pepper or red bell peppers.
• Meat – Use a different kind of meat instead of the pulled pork. Choose any that you may already have leftover or that will work well with the other ingredients.
• Potatoes – Use any type of potato you like from russet potatoes to Yukon Golds, or any other variety. For a different take, try using sweet potatoes. You can also make those potatoes crispy by making Air Fryer Diced Potatoes.
• Sandwiches – Instead of serving this on a plate, fill a toasty bun with it for delicious pulled pork sandwiches.

How to Make BBQ Pulled Pork Hash

You are going to love how easy it is to make this savory breakfast dish.

1. Prepare oven and large skillet. Preheat the oven and heat the oil in a large, oven safe (preferably cast iron) skillet.
2. Cook potatoes and onion. Add the hash browns and onion, cooking according to the package directions, minus three minutes.
3. Add salt and eggs. Sprinkle with the salt and toss. Using the back of a spoon, create wells and crack the eggs into each one.
4. Add pork. Equally divide the BBQ pulled pork in dollops around eggs. Transfer the whole dish to the oven.
5. Bake until the egg whites are opaque, but yolks are still shiny and runny. Top with the cheese and return to oven until melted.
6. Garnish and enjoy! Remove, garnish with the scallions and serve!

What to Serve with BBQ Pulled Pork Hash

This skillet meal is truly a meal on it’s own with the potatoes, meat and egg. However if you’d like to serve it with additional items, a fresh fruit salad or smoothie would be great options.

If you want to add a sweet breakfast option into the mix, try serving this hash with something like buttermilk pancakes or homemade cinnamon rolls.
