Ingredients:
- 2 cups pulled pork (homemade or store-bought)
- 8 slices of bread (sourdough, white, or your favorite type)
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a combination of your favorite cheeses)
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (optional)
- Pickles or coleslaw for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- If your pulled pork is cold, warm it up in a skillet over medium heat until heated through. Stir in the barbecue sauce if using, and set aside.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on each slice of bread. Top with a portion of the warm pulled pork, then add more cheese on top of the pork.
- Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side up, to form the sandwiches.
- Grill the Sandwiches:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Serve:
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing. Serve with pickles, coleslaw, or extra barbecue sauce on the side if desired.
