COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Pork Belly Burnt Ends Bowl

Smoked Pork Belly

  1. Preheat smoker to 225ºF. Maintain the range of 225º-250ºF throughout the cook.
  2. Cut pork belly strips into 1.5” cubes and place on wire baking rack.
  3. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, salt, garlic powder, pepper, onion powder, and cayenne until well-combined. Season all sides of cubes generously with BBQ rub.
  4. Place pork belly in smoker and smoke for 2 to 2.5 hours until bark has formed.
  5. In a pan or disposable aluminum pan, mix together BBQ sauce and honey. Remove pork belly form smoker and transfer to pan. Toss in BBQ sauce and honey until evenly coated. Cover pan and return pork to smoker for another 10-15 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 200ºF. (Pork may have already reached this temp prior to saucing. In that case, 10-15 minutes covered should suffice.)
  6. Uncover pork and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until sauce reaches desired thickness. Set aside until bowls are ready.

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Spray foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray, then place potato cubes in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, then mix potatoes until evenly coated. Liberally season potatoes with BBQ seasoning and salt if needed. Make sure that all cubes have one side touching the tray, then place in oven for 30-35 minutes, mixing halfway through. When potatoes are browned and crispy on the outside, remove from oven and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, add coleslaw. Add mayonnaise, vinegar, celery seed, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly coated and store
  3. Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Husk corn and place in boiling water for 3 minutes. Remove from water and let cool. Remove kernels from cob and set aside.
  4. In a shallow bowl, arrange potatoes, coleslaw, and corn in sections as a bottom layer. Top with pickles and cheese. Top with pork belly. Repeat with 3-5 more servings. Enjoy!
