I made a full loin's worth of Mesquite-O Bites for two holiday parties that I attended this winter. They went over decently well at both events, but afterwards I was left with a bunch of pieces of excess pork that weren't quite big enough to warrant their own cracker.
Ingredients:
1 container leftover Mesquite Porkloin Pieces
1 package 4 Cheese Mashed Potatoes
4 cups of water
1 bag Frozen Zucchini Slices
Instructions:
Add Zucchini to a pan and begin cooking
Boil 4 cups of water
Remove from heat
Stir Mashed Potatoes into boiling water
Reheat Pork
Combine the Zucchini and Pork into Potatoes
This worked out pretty well. The overall ratio of ingredients was a bit heavier on the potatoes and lighter on the pork than what I'd have gone for had I been making the recipe for itself rather than for getting rid of some leftover pork. I suppose I could have separated some of the potatoes out before putting the other ingredients in, but it's a bit hard to gauge that when staring into the depths of a stockpot. The pork and zucchini worked fairly well mixed into the potatoes, but I'm not sure that this is a meal I'd make again.
