Pork Belly Stuffed Mushrooms

The sweet tang of the sauce with the saltiness of the pork combined with the earthiness of the mushrooms all worked together so well. I added breadcrumbs and cream cheese to bind it all together. So simple, so good, and what a great way not to waste leftover pork belly.

Notes

This recipe was born out of an experiment of leftover barbecued pork belly, also known as "poor man's burnt ends". I thought since bacon is often added into stuffed mushrooms then why not pork belly? What I was hesitant about was just how the barbecue sauce would translate. I was pleasantly surprised as these were so yummy.
