This creation was truly an accident. When there are leftovers pouring out of the fridge, BBQ Pulled Pork Rolls are born. It’s my favorite thing to do, swing open the fridge and pantry, scan from top to bottom and think “what could I do with these random ingredients?” When you break it down, if you’ve got leftover pulley’s meat, BBQ sauce, cheese and pizza dough.. you’re in business! They’re a bit messy to make and every time I wonder if the rolls will hold BUT once they’re tucked together in the cast iron and tossed into the heat of the oven, magic happens!
You can make pulled pork a variety of ways. On the smoker Traeger Grill, in a crock pot or in the Ninja Foodi. Either make it fresh for the recipe or the day before and use the leftovers to create your BBQ Pulled Pork Rolls. Once your meat is prepared, you’ll roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle. Next, spread the BBQ sauce, cheese, green onions and pork. Roll the dough as tight as you can and cut into 8 pieces. Tuck the rolls into a greased cast iron skillet and let the hot oven to the rest!
We like to serve these with a little added BBQ sauce and topped with freshly sliced green onions for a pop of fresh flavor. A dollop of sour cream would also be amazing on these hot rolls.
Looking for other leftover options to tuck into these rolls? Here are a few to try:

What kind of pizza dough do you typically use?
Kaitlyn, I used store bought pizza dough in a bag for this. Nothing fancy and it worked like a charm!
Can I cook this in a slow cooker? If so how would you recommend doing it?
Kate– My go-to for slow cooker is 3-5 hours on high and 6-8 hours on low. Time will depend on size of pork. Hope that helps!
