This one-dish wonder solves the balancing act at the very least, and looks adorable in the process.
You take your mason jar, layer in baked beans, slaw, Q, extra sauce and a pickle slice or spear. Made famous by BB’s BBQ in Kansas City (I know, I know, heresy) but apparently original to Mississippi, recipes abound on the web. Since I avoid cooking at all costs, I would pick up my favorite BBQ and all the fixin’s and start stackin’. But you might like to try these recipes if store-bought-for-company is against all your rules.

Tulsa People’s Barbeque Sundae
The Pulled Pork Parfait from The Black Peppercorn
So now this has me thinking….what else can I turn into a Sundae for picnics, tailgating and patio parties?
Tacos. Fajitas. Tex Mex Casseroles. Meatballs & Spagetti. Shepherd’s Pie. Thanksgiving Dinner.
Pretty soon I plan to sell all my plates and go full Mason.
