No thanks, this is a pass, way too expensive for a tv dinner.

Pulled Pork & Pulled Chicken are so easy to make.  

The bbq burnt ends are not burnt ends. Burnt Ends are made from the Brisket Point not Pork. Burnt ends from pork are just chunks of pork?

You can buy pork n beans to make your own beans. Make it all yourself & save quite a bit of money plus you will have more food.

DH has a brisket on the smoker right now. Yum can't wait to eat it.  


@Nightowlz   according to many...Burnt ends are slow-smoked, cubed, and caramelized pieces of meat beloved for their sweet flavor and soft-as-butter texture. Made from either brisket or pork belly meat.

 

Corky's has been selling burnt ends for years.  I doubt they would risk their reputation in Memphis for misnaming burnt ends as pork.

 

It's wonderful that you have a smoker.  Millions live in apartments and condos where smokers and grills are prohibited.


@Caaareful Shopper 

 

If you want bbq you can make it indoors. It's also good it just doesn't have that smoke flavor. 

You don't have to have a smoker or grill to make it.

I make pulled pork in the pressure cooker. I use a small 3 lb picnic pork roast (less fat) instead of a shoulder or butt which has a lot more fat on it. 

Making pulled bbq chicken is easy with a rotisserie chicken & bbq sauce.

Sometimes we make bbq baby back ribs in the oven where you can finish under the broiler if you don't grill out. My sister gave me the recipe. They are really good. 

Corky's Nutrition label shows the burnt ends are from pork shoulder. I forgot they also make burnt ends with pork belly.

I thought TSV’s were something you couldn’t find for less anywhere else? But Walmart has them for less than 1/2 price. I don’t understand?? 😳😳😳

@RescueLover QVC does not advertise their TSVs as items you cannot find anywhere else for less, they advertise them as their best value of the day.

I doubt that most who order food from the Q are reading the nutrition info first, that is usually enough to send me changing the channel.

I ordered these once and they were very tasty.  However the portions were so meager I finished one still hungry, and I'm not a big eater.  No way would they satisfy a hearty appetite.


@Kachina624 I thought the same thing when I saw these being presented. "Dinky" was the word that came to mind.  I have a healthy appetite and those portions would be an app for me. Good to know, though, that they were good. I only eat bbq probably once a year so not really interested.

I have a good appetite too lol.  I've purchased a couple of these dinners from the grocery to try before and the serving is tiny, plus they weren't that great at all.
