Upgrade your favorite tailgate food with this easy Pulled Pork Corn Chip Pie. Top with cheddar cheese, sour cream, and onions for a quick and easy dish everyone loves!
Growing up in Texas, many of my Friday nights were spent going to the high school football games. I wasn’t exactly always watching the game, but I was there hanging out with my friends and eating!
One of my most common concession stand treats were the corn chip pies. It wasn’t fancy by any means, but I still remember them being so good.
They put everything directly into the chip bag so it mixed all together and the cheese was the neon nacho cheese that comes out of a pump. The chili meat…well, I probably don’t really want to know.
Easy Game Day Recipe
I figured we needed an upgrade on the classic and that is where this Pulled Pork Corn Chip Pie idea came from! You start with a super easy (and quick!) homemade chili and add two pounds of Curly’s Pulled Pork.
Thankfully Curly’s BBQ is already cooked, so you don’t have to worry about any extra time spent smoking your own pork or shredding it. It’s all done for you!
You can find Curly’s BBQ in the refrigerated meat case at your local grocery store. I like to buy mine at Publix, when it is BOGO, because I have easy dinners and lunches ready to go anytime I need them.
Their pulled beef is a personal favorite of ours and I also love their sauceless chicken for use in all kinds of dishes!

I topped my Pulled Pork Corn Chip Pie with cheddar cheese and melted it in the oven. However, you can definitely use a hot nacho cheese to pour on top for nostalgia.
Then I topped it all off with a hearty scoop of sour cream, green onion and red onion. One onion will do just fine on top, I just really love crunchy fresh onion.
I hope you give this Pulled Pork Corn Chip Pie a try! It’s a new spin on a classic that any pulled pork fan will love!

Oooh I want to make this for the playoff games!
Was going to try this until I read the ingredient list. Rotel has multiple types of peopers in it ,one of which are bell peppers which I am highly allergic to. Don’t need another trip to the emergency room. Might try if I can figure out a substitute.
Hi Donna! No, we don’t want that! You can substitute a can of crushed tomatoes just fine for the Rotel. Hope you try it soon! :-)
