How to Make Barbecued Pork With Cheese Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 box (8.5 oz) cornbread mix, 1 cup milk, and 1 large egg. Whisk until just combined.
  3. Stir in 1 cup frozen corn (thawed), 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1/4 cup chopped jalapenos (or 1-2 green chilies, to taste).
  4. The mixture will be thick.
  5. Pour batter into a greased 8-inch square baking dish.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cornbread cool for 15 minutes before cutting.
  8. While the cornbread bakes, heat 2 cups barbecued pork and 2 tablespoons yellow mustard in a covered saucepan over low heat for 10 minutes, or until heated through.
  9. Cut the cooled cornbread into 6 squares.
  10. Halve the squares horizontally to create 12 slider halves.
  11. Place cornbread halves on serving plates.
  12. Spoon a generous amount of barbecued pork onto one cornbread half of each slider.
  13. Top with the other cornbread half to make a sandwich. Serve immediately and enjoy!
