Ok, so...I'm originally from TX. This kind of thing is "normal" there. If you've never had a BBQ stuffed baked potato, you should try it. The BBQ can be beef or pork or chicken or whatever, but shredded is best. I guess the correct BBQ terminology would be "pulled pork" or something, but whatever. Haha. Shredded up beef or pork or chicken, mixed with some BBQ sauce, dumped into a large baked potato. Amazing.
Ingredients:
-Large baking potatoes, one for each person eating. (I used russets that were monstrous)
-butter
-cheese, shredded (I used colby jack)
-sour cream (if desired)
-shredded BBQ meat, already cooked and hot
Directions:
Bake the potatoes in your favorite method.

Cut a line down one side of the potato.





Typical baked potato toppings. Then, the piece de resistance, the BBQ meat. Scoop a hearty serving of the meat into the potato, and voila...BBQ stuffed potato.

A favorite BBQ place here calls them Botatoes. They are really good and I'm surprised they haven't spread in popularity outside of the south-central area of the US. but, you are right, they are common here (in the Arklatex) too. I haven't run across them elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Botatoes. That's awesome. I love these, and it's kind of sad they don't really have them outside of that region. Thanks for backing me up on the fact these are awesome and common place in my homestate. :)
