Cheesy Pulled Pork Mashups

The Vulgar Chef's Pulled Pork Mac n' Cheese Ball is a Culinary Hybrid

— March 3, 2015 — Lifestyle
If you are craving something savory, and can't choose between pulled pork, macaroni and cheese or a cheese ball, why not just mix them all together? That is exactly what food blogger The Vulgar Chef did with his Pulled Pork Mac n' Cheese Balls.

Using BBQ sauces he received from MEATMITCH.COM, The Vulgar Chef (AKA Kyle Marcoux) put sauce-smothered meat in the middle of a mac and cheese ball. He appears to have used a white cheddar macaroni and cheese with the pulled pork, given its paler hue.

Even though this is hardly the healthiest thing you could eat, the dish is for those who enjoy experimenting in the kitchen and mashing up different foods together. It also might be for the indecisive.
