Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese
Don’t stop short with just a pork sandwich. Instead, load a pile of smoked pork on a bun, sandwiched between a few slices of American cheese. Over cast-iron, with a lovely dose of butter, the whole thing melds together into the most perfect food imaginable.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 store-bought or homemade hamburger bun, split
- 2 slices American cheese
- 4 ounces smoked pork butt or slow cooker pulled pork
Instructions
- In a cast-iron pan or griddle set over medium heat, melt the butter. Place the bun halves, cut side up, in the skillet. Place 1 cheese slice on each bun half. Top the bottom bun half with the pulled pork. Using a spatula, place the top bun half, cheese side down, on the other side that’s topped with pulled pork. Cook, turning occasionally and gently pressing the sandwich with the spatula, until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately. Don’t forget the napkins.
