Smoked Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese Sandwich (Gooey, Cheesy and EPIC)

Sharing is caring!

You have to try our EPIC Smoked pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich.

It is loaded with gooey mozzarella and strong cheddar!!

The pork butt was smoked on a Weber Kettle and then pulled for afor a cookout.

We had heaps of leftovers, so we decided to make grilled cheeses STUFFED with pulled pork.

See how it is done below

Ingredients Needed for Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  • Bread – sourdough, white bread, rye – anything works. Even its a little stale, toasting it will bring it back to life!
  • Pulled pork  – If you don’t have any leftovers, try my smoked pork butt
  • Cheese. Art used sharp cheddar and a gooey mozzarella
  • Butter.  – loooooots of it!

Step 1: Shred Pork Butt With Forks or Bear Claws

If you haven’t shredded your pork butt, grab two forks or bear claws and shred it

Tips for Making an EPIC Grilled Cheese

  1. You can’t have enough cheese:
    No matter much cheese you think you might use, double it! You’ll never regret it!
  2. The same goes for the butter:
    The more butter the better! It will give your bread the delicious toasty flavor, just make sure you even spread it.
  3. Try it on the Grill:
    If you have a grill handy, make a batch of these sandwiches on it. They freeze well or always are a hit at a party. Plus using a grill makes it easier to cook up a big batch

What of Meat Do I Use For Pulled Pork?

Pork butt (otherwise known as pork shoulder) or pork loin is the best cut to use for pulled pork.

It has a lot of connective tissue, that when cooked low and slow melts and make the meat SUPER juicy!

Plus that makes it easy to pull.

Don’t Have Weber?

What Kind of Bread for Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese?

Any bread is good for toasted cheese sandwiches.

We have tried rye, white, sourdough even pumpkinickle. Even if you have some bread that is almost stale use it, the butter and toasting will revive it!

One that really shines through is ciabatta, it is made with olive oil, so it really crisps up nicely on the heat.
