Memphis Barbecue Nachos Recipes

MEMPHIS-STYLE BBQ NACHOS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium. Add pork, water, and 1/2 cup of the Memphis BBQ Sauce; cook, tossing occasionally, until mixture is thoroughly heated, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Whisk in flour; cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown and beginning to smell nutty, about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk; bring to a simmer over medium-high, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Gradually add cheese, stirring until completely melted. Stir in salt and cayenne.
• Arrange chips on a platter; top evenly with pork. Drizzle with cheese sauce and remaining 1/2 cup Memphis BBQ Sauce; top with jalapeño chiles. Serve immediately.

THE ORIGINAL BBQ NACHOS

Steps:

• Arrange chips on a large serving platter. Cover with BBQ Pork Shoulder. Top with BBQ sauce and then smother with the Nacho Cheese/Queso Sauce. Sprinkle generously with rub and then serve immediately.
• Place oil in a deep fryer or in a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven. Heat oil to 325 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, combine salt and dry rub in a small bowl. Cut tortillas into chip-sized triangles. When oil is 325 degrees F, carefully add cut tortillas and deep fry for about 3 minutes, turning at least once until a light golden brown. Remove chips from oil and dust with salt-dry rub mixture.
• Preheat a charcoal grill for indirect cooking to 225 to 250 degrees F.
• Inject the meat with wash. Alternatively, you can also marinate the pork in Hog Wash overnight in the refrigerator. Season pork generously with dry rub. Place meat on grill and cook until the internal temperature of the meat is consistently 180 degrees F for at least 1 hour; it will take about 8 hours to reach 180 degrees internally. Remove meat from grill and let rest for at least 15 minutes.
• Pull the meat with your hands and remove any fat or gristle. Gently sprinkle pulled meat with dry rub and then toss like a salad.
• Combine all ingredients in a double boiler and stir until melted. Season with salt, to taste.

MEMPHIS-STYLE PULLED PORK NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• For the barbecue pork: In a medium saucepan, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and garlic and continue to cook until the garlic is softened. Add the ketchup, molasses, vinegar, hot sauce, mustard and brown sugar and simmer until the sugar is melted and the ingredients have combined, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender and carefully blend until smooth. Return to the pan, add Trisha's Pulled Pork and keep over low heat to warm through.
• For the cheese sauce: Heat the cream and pepper in a small saucepan over low heat until it just begins to steam, about 3 minutes. Gradually add the cheese, stirring until the cheese is completely melted. Keep warm, adding a bit more cream if the sauce becomes too thick.
• For the nachos: In a shallow casserole dish, spread the shredded romaine and then top with the tortilla and potato chips mixed together. Spread the pork over the chips and cover with the shredded Cheddar. Bake until the cheese has melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour the cheese sauce over top and garnish with the red onions and scallions.
• Season the ribs well on all sides with salt and pepper.
• In a large Dutch oven over high heat, heat the oil to a shimmer. Add the ribs and sear until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove the ribs and transfer to a plate. Add the garlic, carrots and onion and cook until golden and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of water and, using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add 2 more cups of water and stir to combine.
• Return the ribs to the Dutch oven, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until fork-tender, about 3 hours.
• Remove the ribs from the liquid and transfer to a baking sheet to cool. Strain the cooking liquid and reserve. When cool enough to handle, use 2 forks to shred the pork.
