Pulled Pork, Mac & Cheese & Red Cabbage Slaw in Edible Cornbread Bowls

Pulled Pork, Mac & Cheese & Red Cabbage Slaw in Edible Cornbread BowlsI made these cornbread bowls shortly after I made the bacon weave tacos that I filled with pulled pork, macaroni & cheese and coleslaw.

I loved the combination of pulled pork, macaroni & cheese and coleslaw together in each bite, but since the bacon weave taco shells take a while to make I was looking for an easier way to incorporate the three together again. Cornbread bowls turned out to be the perfect alternative!

You will need a Bake-a-Bowl Pan to make them, but once you’ve got one of those you can also use it for all sorts of other cool things like scrambled eggs in pancake bowls, popcorn chicken in waffle bowls, macaroni and cheese in corn dog bowls or even red velvet bowls for your ice cream. The possibilities are pretty much endless!

I’ve included recipes for my homemade macaroni and cheese and homemade red cabbage coleslaw below, but if you’re short on time or just feeling especially lazy you could also just substitute boxed mac & cheese and store bought coleslaw instead. I’ll be honest though, it’s gonna be pretty hard to beat the recipes below with something you picked up at the grocery store. Or, if pulled pork, mac & cheese and coleslaw isn’t your thing you could even fill the cornbread bowls with even more corn!
