  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare your pulled pork: Season the boneless pork shoulder with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Place it in a slow cooker, add BBQ sauce, and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until fork-tender.
  2. Cook the pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook elbow macaroni until al dente according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. Make the cheese sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour until smooth; gradually add milk while whisking until thickened. Stir in shredded cheddar until melted and creamy.
  4. Combine: In a large bowl, mix cooked macaroni with cheese sauce and shredded pulled pork until well combined.
  5. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer mixture to a greased baking dish, sprinkle additional cheese on top, and bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
