Pulled Pork Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

 Delicious, high-protein and nourishing, these Pulled Pork Stuffed Sweet Potatoes filled with slow-cooked apple & onion pulled pork and cheese are the perfect casual weeknight dinner!

These Pulled Pork Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are my new obsession, related to my general obsession with sweet potatoes! I realized that now, every time I go grocery shopping, I buy more and more of them.

At the beginning, it was just two or three: enough for one maybe two meals in 10 days. And clearly that's not enough, right? So now I buy at least 4 huge ones to keep me satisfied until my next trip to the store. But no matter what I do, there's always a shortage. So now tell me, who comes at night eating my sweet potatoes??

One of the many ways I like my these healthy spuds is as baked stuffed sweet potatoes loaded with a yummy filling. Sounds perfect, doesn't it?

Plus, making stuffed sweet potatoes is a great way to use leftover pulled pork or whatever leftovers you have in the fridge.

Trust me, these Pulled Pork Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are a must-try! They are healthy, filling, high-protein and they make a delicious comforting meal your whole family will love!
