Barbecue Stuffed Corn Muffins

Barbecue Stuffed Corn Muffins is what’s for lunch today.  Served with a side salad or melon slices these quick and easy muffins make a complete light meal.  If you are looking for a more hearty meal, add baked beans.  Or slow cooker Calico Beans.  The cave hieroglyphs on top are a few shreds of cheese that vaporized in the hot oven.  Didn’t add a cheesy topping, but created an imaginative lunch conversation.  Is the upper left muffin depicting a charging elephant?  A kangaroo? A water buffalo?  Or a longhorn?

Several weeks ago, while we were still doing in person grocery shopping – wait!  has it really been that long!?!  Anyway,  I picked up a tray of pulled pork on sale at the grocery and popped it in the home freezer.  I was glad I did!  We had three meals from it.  Meal #1 was pulled pork on a bun with coleslaw.  Meal #2 a few days later was baked potato topped with cheese and pulled pork.  Meal#3 was this one.    Not bad for a $6 purchase!
