PULLED PORK CRESCENT CUPS Easy 4 Ingredient Semi-Homemade Recipe

Ingredients

• 10 oz Pulled Pork (pre‑cooked, hickory smoked, from refrigerated section)
• 1 can Crescent Roll Dough (8‑count original triangle package, thawed)
• 8 oz Coleslaw (pre‑made, creamy style)
• 2 tbsp Barbecue Sauce (sweet‑spicy, e.g., Sweet Baby Ray’s)
• 1 tbsp Avocado Oil Cooking Spray (for greasing muffin tin; any neutral cooking spray works)
• 2 tbsp Green Onions (chopped, optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Set the oven to 375°F and let it preheat while you prepare the other components.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 375°F

2. Prepare Work Surface

   Lay a silicone baking mat on the countertop or lightly flour a clean surface to prevent the dough from sticking.

   Time: PT2M

3. Shape Crescent Roll Squares

   Open the can of crescent roll dough, separate the 8 triangles, and gently roll each into a square. Cut three lengthwise lines on each square, then cut in half to create 12 equal squares.

   Time: PT5M

4. Grease Muffin Tin

   Place the 12‑cup muffin tin on a sheet pan. Spray each cup generously with avocado oil cooking spray, covering the sides and bottom.

   Time: PT2M

5. Line Muffin Cups with Dough

   Press each dough square into a muffin cup, pushing it down to the bottom and up the sides to form a pocket.

   Time: PT3M

6. Season Pulled Pork

   Transfer the pre‑cooked pulled pork to a mixing bowl, add 2 tbsp barbecue sauce, and stir until evenly coated.

   Time: PT3M

7. Fill Dough Pockets

   Spoon the seasoned pulled pork into each dough‑lined cup, filling about 2‑3 tbsp per cup. Do not overfill, as the topping will add volume.

   Time: PT4M

8. Bake

   Place the sheet pan with the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 14‑18 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.

   Time: PT16M

    Time: PT2M

11. Serve
