Today I am sharing one of my favorite breakfast recipes: BBQ Pulled Pork Hash!
Have you ever gone through a food phase? For some reason, you are drawn to, almost obsessed with a certain type of food?
Right now my food phases are any type of potato hash prepared in a cast iron skillet with drippy eggs and watermelon (on the side). What a pair, huh?
And while I enjoy most of my hashes (I’ve created a few without cheese, not recommended), BBQ Pulled Pork Hash seems to stick with me. I crave it throughout the week and instead of cleaning out the fridge, have been known to visit the store just for its ingredients.
Why You’ll Love This BBQ Pulled Pork Hash
- Easy to prepare – This is a great way to repurpose pulled leftovers, and since you’re using leftovers, this recipe is a quick fix for any meal of the day.
- Full of flavor – The sweet pulled pork pairs perfectly with the mellow potatoes while the onion and eggs add some depth to the dish.
- Make it your own – You can change up nearly every ingredient in this recipe to make your own signature hash.
Ingredients
You can easily find all of these bbq pulled pork hash ingredients at your local grocery store.
- Vegetable oil – Any neutral oil will work — canola oil, avocado oil, and olive oil will all work.
- Hash browns – You can use either frozen or fresh. Frozen are great if you’re short on time, and fresh are great if you have potatoes that need used up.
- White onion – Dice the onion into small pieces of a similar size. You could use red onions instead if you’d like.
- Coarse kosher salt – If using a different salt, keep in mind different salts measure differently.
- BBQ pulled pork – This pulled pork breakfast hash is a great way to use up leftover pork. See the section below for some of my favorite recipes.
- Eggs – One of my favorite parts of this comfort food is the runny eggs! They really add to the taste and texture.
- Sharp cheddar cheese – I highly recommend shredding your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese are great for convenience, but are coated in a starchy mix that can dry out your cheese or greatly impact the texture when melted.
- Scallions – These are used for garnish, so can easily be omitted. But they add great flavor and color to the dish.
Variations
There are several ways you can make this bbq pulled pork recipe your own. Here are a few suggestions.
- Heat – Add some spicy flavor to the hash by sprinkling in some crushed red pepper, cayenne, or hot sauce.
- Vegetables – In addition to the onion, stir in some other veggies like diced tomatoes or peppers like green bell pepper or red bell peppers.
- Meat – Use a different kind of meat instead of the pulled pork. Choose any that you may already have leftover or that will work well with the other ingredients.
- Potatoes – Use any type of potato you like from russet potatoes to Yukon Golds, or any other variety. For a different take, try using sweet potatoes.
- Sandwiches – Instead of serving this on a plate, fill a toasty bun with it for delicious pulled pork sandwiches.

Very good. Added sliced cherry tomatoes and topped with bbq sauce
This looks so good. I’ve gotta try this. Thank you so much for the recipe.
You are very welcome, let us know how it goes!
Greetings, and thank you for your recipe.
We have a big green egg and always fill it to the max when smoking pork as leftover pulled pork is one of my fav ingredients in a lot of dishes.
I had not used it in hash before, but boy was it delicious!
I added sliced bell peppers and mushrooms with onions and baked as directed.
4-5 minutes at 350 doesnt even begin to cook an egg. I think you have a misprint and perhaps meant to say 14-15 minutes as that would be a good checking point, as seems to be consensus across cooking sites. It took my eggs 16 minutes in a “true” oven in cast iron skillet to get to a sunnyside up level. Then did the cheese and returned to oven to finish.
Really wonderful dish that will become part of my pulled pork rotation
This was one of the best things I’ve ever made! My daughter and I devoured it on Saturday morning. I just made pulled pork last night, so I had leftovers. I liked this better than the pulled pork supper!
Oh, Wally! It warms my heart to get feedback like this. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I have to say, sometimes I order pulled pork out just so I can make this the next morning. Great use for leftovers!
This looks and sounds delicious Jessica and I could have breakfast all day! Pinned and shared!
I could eat this day or night! Love it!
Me too! I just love this dish!
Love breakfast any time of day. This looks great.
Oh yeah! My kind of yum! I totally understand that obsession issue. I have that problem with my enchilada bake! I’m a big fan of runny eggs and hash. Pinning to make soon!
