Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese

When I was little, my mother used to make rice pudding. My kids adore the food I make now. Following a meal, I frequently cook rice pudding. Just make sure that the rice is soupy and floats in the milk. Rice absorbs a lot of liquid. The top will be cooked until it is brown and crispy. Raisins are not necessary.

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons Borden® Butter
  2. 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  3. 1 jalapeno chile pepper, diced (Optional)
  4. 1 cup ketchup
  5. ½ cup brown sugar
  6. Liquid smoke, to taste
  7. 1 (3 pound) pork shoulder roast
  8. 1 (1 pound) loaf sourdough bread, sliced
  9. 16 slices Borden® Singles Sensations® Extra Sharp Cheddar
  10. 4 tablespoons Borden® Butter

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions until soft; stir in jalapeños, ketchup, sugar and liquid smoke. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for an hour or until sauce has thickened to desired consistency.
  2. Smoke pork shoulder in a hot smoker for 3 to 5 hours at 210 degrees F (internal meat temperature of 150 degrees F). Remove, and wrap in aluminum foil. Refrigerate overnight.
  3. Remove excess fat from pork. Using two forks, shred remaining meat into a large bowl. Mix in barbecue sauce.
  4. Brown 2 slices of buttered sourdough bread in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place a slice of cheese on each slice. Top with ? of pulled pork mixture, a second slice of cheese and another slice of bread. Turn sandwich over when bottom slice has browned and brown the other side.
  5. Feel free to personalize the sauce. Want it sweeter? Add more sugar. Want it spicier? Add more jalapeños.
  6. Use prepared smoked pork shoulder in place of smoking your own pork.
