It's corn season and I could not be any happier!  There really is nothing better than fresh corn on the cob, well, except for maybe these cornbread waffles topped with pulled pork!  Sunday Supper is celebrating summer corn with a very tasty event featuring all sorts of corn recipes this week!

Cornbread waffles are so fun for a weeknight meal. They taste just like cornbread, except in waffle form, and they make a great base for pulled pork!

You could make your own pulled pork for this recipe, but I took the easy way out and used the store-bought kind.  My family enjoys the sauce-less pulled pork from Costco, and that is what I used in this recipe.  I had a jar of homemade cherry BBQ sauce in the fridge that I added to the pulled pork. You can use your favorite BBQ sauce or you can just buy the pulled pork already sauced.  So many options!

Pile on the pulled pork as high as you like.  I took a more conservative approach to my waffle creation and used about a cup of pulled pork.  Then, I topped it with some shredded cheddar cheese and a sprinkling of green onion!  YUM!

The cheese gets all gooey from the heat of the pork and the onions add a nice crunch to the whole deal.  What do you think?  Would you eat this for dinner?  My family is already requesting I make this one again soon!

  4. First, I would eat those waffles for breakfast with maple syrup and butter. Then I would eat them again for dinner with the pork. Yum!!

  6. People always talk about chicken and waffles but I have yet to try it. I don't know why. The idea is appealing but I have to say your corn waffles with barbecue sounds even better.
