Loaded Baked Sweet Potato with Pulled Pork, cheese, baked beans, pickled jalapeños and more!!! So delicious and filling! I hope you try this! I might like this better than the Russet potatoes!
Continuing my sweet potato kick! I’m back with this loaded beauty. After trying Jacket Potatoes and adding the baked beans, I think I’m in love. I love beans and have liked baked beans with BBQ or ribs and brisket, but I’ve never had them with a baked potato.
Loaded Baked Sweet Potato with Pulled Pork
I know the plate above just looks a mess but it’s absolutely delicious and might be my new favorite cold day comfort food. Meal prep a few baked sweet potatoes (and Russet potatoes too if you want), and the pulled pork and this meal/treat can come together very quickly. I used B&M baked beans (which had the least amount of sugar I think) but will definitely be on the lookout for the Heinz baked beans which everyone (who is British told me to find and use).
I just love this loaded backed sweet potato with pulled pork because it hits on everything: sweet, savory, spicy and delicious. If you want more texture, feel free to add crispy bacon bits. I hope you try this!
