These BBQ Pulled Pork Biscuits are a quick and easy meal that the whole family will enjoy. Refrigerated biscuits are stuffed with BBQ pulled pork and are topped with a light savory glaze. If you are looking for a great lunch box meal, need something to bring to parties or are looking for a new Superbowl or tailgating meal then try these delicious stuffed biscuits.
These stuffed BBQ pulled pork biscuits are a family favorite. You can use your favorite pulled pork recipe to create these or go with a store bought, ready made BBQ pulled pork. When I don’t have time to make my own pulled pork I love using Curly’s Bold and Spicy Pulled Pork. It’s a favorite and has the perfect amount of BBQ sauce for this recipe.
How to make Air Fryer BBQ Pulled Pork Biscuits
(aka BBQ Pork Bombs)
Don’t care for pulled pork? Then swap it out for your favorite BBQ shredded chicken or beef. I’ve even seen some types of vegetarian “pulled pork” made from jackfruit in the local stores. I haven’t tried it yet. But if you have and love it then it will probably work in this recipe.
Ingredient Information:
Canned Biscuits: 1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough. My personal favorite is the Pillsbury Grands (8 big biscuits per can). The size of these biscuits makes a great hand held pocket sandwich. You can also use the smaller sized Pillsbury Flaky Layers Biscuits. These are a bit smaller in size (10 biscuits per can). If you use these then do NOT pull the biscuits apart like the directions say to do. If you do they will make very small, appetizer sized pocket sandwiches. If you want a more filling sandwich size then use 1 smaller biscuit for the bottom and another one for the top.
BBQ Pulled Pork: you will need about 16 ounces of BBQ pulled pork to stuff the biscuits. Pulled pork not your thing? Swap it out with BBQ shredded chicken, beef or even vegetarian “pulled pork”.
Melted Butter: use salted butter for this. The butter will be brushed on top of the biscuits to give them a golden brown color.
Dijon Mustard: use your favorite brand. The Dijon mustard gives the light buttery glaze that is brushed over the tops of biscuits a delicious flavor. Don’t leave it out. You won’t be sorry.
Everything Bagel Seasoning Mix: I went with a homemade Everything Bagel (you might also see it sold as Everything But The Bagel) seasoning. I love the added texture of the sesame seeds, poppyseeds, garlic and coarse salt. Use your favorite seasoning mix to sprinkle on top of these biscuits.
How to make stuffed BBQ Pulled Pork Biscuits:
Prep these ingredients to make putting together these stuffed biscuit sandwiches easier:
Biscuits: If using Grands biscuits separate each biscuit into two halves. These biscuits have layers that will pull apart without much effort.
BBQ Pulled Pork: if you plan on using your favorite homemade recipe then make and shred the pork. Allow it to cool a bit before using it to stuff the biscuits.
Make the pocket sandwiches:
Using your fingers gently press each piece of biscuit to stretch and flatten the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
Top one piece of biscuit with 1-2 tablespoons of BBQ pulled pork. Leave about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch of dough exposed around the edges.
Top with the other half of the dough. Fold the edges over slightly and crimp with a fork.
In a small bowl mix the melted butter with the Dijon mustard. Brush the tops of the stuffed biscuits with the butter mixture and sprinkle a bit of Everything Bagel Seasoning on top.
Place the finished stuffed biscuit on the air fryer rack. Cook at 350 degrees for 5 to 6 minutes or until the top is lightly golden brown.
Flip the biscuit over and cook for another 2 minutes or until the biscuit is golden brown.
Tips, substitutions and FAQ’s:
Can I use frozen biscuits for this recipe?
The frozen biscuits are not the same recipe as the canned biscuits. The ones in the can are made to have flakey layers so they can be pulled apart easier. The frozen biscuits, when thawed, do not easily pull apart. You can use them by flattening out 1 biscuit for a top and one biscuit for a bottom.
Can I use something else other than flaky layer biscuits?
Yes, but the biscuits will not have layers that can be pulled apart. You may have to use one biscuit for the top and another one for the bottom of the pocket sandwich if you use different biscuits.
Can I freeze these stuffed biscuits?
You can freeze these stuffed biscuits for up to 2 months in an air-tight container or a freezer bag. I have taken them out of the freezer and let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight before cooking them in the air fryer. At this time I have not tried to cook them while frozen.
How can I reheat the stuffed breakfast biscuits leftovers?
You can reheat these biscuits in the microwave for 45 seconds. You can also use your air fryer to reheat these sandwiches as well as to make them crispy again. Place in the air fryer and reheat for 1 to 2 minutes at 350 degrees.
Storage Instructions:
The finished biscuits will stay fresh in the refrigerator in a covered container or storage bag for 1 to 2 days. After that time the biscuit will become a bit soggy. The texture can be refreshed a bit by reheating in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes.
