Print Recipe

A flavorful and easy game day recipe featuring tender slow-cooked pulled pork in buffalo sauce served over creamy mashed potatoes, topped with crunchy celery and blue cheese crumbles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 lbs pork shoulder
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce (preferably Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cups mashed potatoes (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • ½ cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Optional hot sauce to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat pork shoulder dry and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Place pork shoulder in slow cooker and pour ½ cup buffalo sauce over it. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until fork-tender.
  3. Mix remaining ½ cup buffalo sauce with melted butter in a bowl.
  4. Shred pork directly in slow cooker using forks or shredding claws and mix with buffalo sauce mixture. Add water or chicken broth if sauce is too thick.
  5. Warm or prepare 4 cups of mashed potatoes.
  6. In a large serving bowl, spread mashed potatoes as base. Top with buffalo pulled pork.
  7. Sprinkle chopped celery, blue cheese crumbles, and sliced green onions over the top.
  8. Optionally drizzle extra buffalo sauce or hot sauce. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Keep the slow cooker on warm if serving at different times to keep pork juicy. Warm mashed potatoes gently if cooled. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil and use plant-based milk and dairy-free cheese. For low-carb, swap mashed potatoes with cauliflower mash.
