REDNECK CAKE... IT'S ALL GOOD

Last weekend, I made 35 pounds of pulled pork. When the dust settled, I ended up with about 6 pounds left over. While freezing is always an option. Pulled pork freezes very well, but I like to use up what I havebeforee moving on to new projects. So I enjoyed a few days of sandwiches, but then I knew what I wanted. My very favorite leftover meal...Redneck Cake.

As with all recipes, first thing to do is assemble the ingredients...

For the bread, you need...

1 bottle of Killian's Irish red Beer (any beer will work, I like Killian's
3 cups sifted flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon sea salt

and for the icing, you will need

8 cups loosely packed pulled pork
1 cup BBQ sauce
1/4 pound provolone cheese

And here's how to make it...


SIFT the Flour... Let me repeat, SIFT the flour. Beer bread is a very dense. If you do not sift the flour, this recipe will turn into a brick very fast.

Then combine all the dry ingredients and mix well before adding room temperature beer, and mix well.


Instead of pouring into a loaf pan, pour into a 9X13 casserole dish (spray with the canola oil spray, or butter and flour the bottom of the pan to keep from sticking). The goop will be about 1 inch thick.

Bake at 375 (preheated oven) for 50 minutes.

The bread needs to cool for about 15 minutes, while it is cooling, heat in a microwave 4 cups of loosely packed pulled pork. Before heating, add 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce. Heat away. A little tip, cover with a paper towel while heating, or your wife will have to clean out the microwave (or worse, you will).

4 cups of pulled pork covers half the cake. Repeat the process with the remaining 4 cups, and cover the rest of the cake.

Shave the provolone cheese and spread it evenly over the top.

This is a recipe for leftovers. If you don't have enough pork, make a thinner layer. Same for the cheese.

put it under the broiler for a few minutes till the cheese melts. I made two of these, as I have a church pot luck dinner for tomorrow. Beer bread pulled pork casserole vrs green bean french fried onion casserole... which would you pick?

BTW, The one with the extra cheese is mine... all mine...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

And here's the finished product (and a chance to show off my chicken plates). Warms up great in a microwave.
