Stupid-Easy Recipe for Pulled Pork BBQ Spaghetti (#1 Top-Rated)

  

Barbecue spaghetti is a delicacy that’s most commonly found in the BBQ Capital of America: Memphis, Tennessee, and it’s made just the way it sounds. You start with a tomato-based sauce that’s jazzed up with your favorite barbecue sauce, then add traditional barbecue spices and smoked meat. The co-creator of the recipe, Marrekus Wilkes of Cooks with Soul, uses his own smoked pork butt, but the recipe is adaptable. Many grocery stores carry pre-cooked pulled pork that you can use, and some sell their own smoked pork. Or you can substitute rotisserie chicken. If you have never had the pleasure of experiencing the barbecue in Memphis, then this recipe is one you should definitely keep in your repertoire. Likewise, if you know and love Memphis fare, particularly barbecue spaghetti, then this dish will make you feel right at home.
