1-Getting started: Getting started with this Cheddar Bay Pulled Pork Casserole is easy and fun, with steps that guide you through the process smoothly. Begin by preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and spraying a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking. This quick prep sets the stage for a delicious outcome in just 25 minutes total.

2-Mixing the pork and sauce: In a large bowl, mix together 1 pound of pulled pork, 1½ cups of barbecue sauce, 1 (15-ounce) can of ranch style beans, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread this mixture evenly in your prepared baking dish, then sprinkle 1½ cups of the shredded cheddar cheese on top for that gooey layer everyone loves.

3-Preparing biscuit dough: Next, prepare the biscuit dough by combining 1 (11.36-ounce) package of Cheddar Bay biscuit mix with ¾ cup of water and ½ cup of the remaining shredded cheddar cheese. Drop the batter evenly over the cheese layer in the dish. For a detailed take on slow-cooked meats, visit this Slow Cooker Texas Pulled Pork guide to enhance your pulled pork technique.

Once out of the oven, brush the biscuits with a mixture of ¼ cup melted butter and the seasoning packet from the biscuit mix. Garnish with parsley if you like, and let it cool slightly before serving to enjoy the full flavors.
