Pulled Pork BBQ Grilled
Cheese Sandwiches
Chef Dan - Denver
I am are always looking for new and creative ideas for our demos and presentations. We were asked to prepare a lunch entrée on the Viking Grill.
I like to show the versatility of grilling; you can do more than just cook hamburgers. I took a portable Viking Griddle off of the Viking Range, removed the rubber feet, and placed it on the grill. Warmed up the griddle and I made these delicious sandwiches. We smoked the Cheddar cheese in a Viking Electric smoker, its okay if you don’t have a smoker, you can use regular sharp cheddar.

Ingredients
1 loaf of sourdough bread sliced
2 lbs of smoked Cheddar cheese shredded
3 lbs Pork Shoulder to get 1 lb of Pulled Pork
The Best and Easiest BBQ sauce, recipe follows
Butter
Step one
Take a pork shoulder roast and smoke it for 3 hours, then cover in a pan and roast at 250 till tender, in the oven, about 12 hours At this point the pork should be, “fall apart tender”, take off any excess fat then cube the pork and add the Best and Easiest BBQ sauce.
In a cold smoker- smoke cheese for about an hour and then chill, once cold okay to grate.
Step Two
On a hot Griddle- Butter the sour dough bread add cheese then pulled pork, then more cheese and other slice of bread. Grill until cheese has melted and bread is golden brown. Slice in half and serve warm, this is great served with a cold, cold Cole slaw.
The Very Best and Easiest BBQ Sauce
Denver Showroom, Dan Marshall
This sauce is my favorite because it is easy to make, fast and it really tastes much better than any you can get at the store. We use it all the time when we grill. It is also versatile you can make many variations from the basic ketchup, brown sugar, and liquid smoke. Once you try this no other store bought BBQ sauce will ever compare.
1 cup of Ketchup
½ cup of Brown sugar
Liquid smoke to taste
1 medium onion diced yellow
1 jalapeño diced
1 TB Dijon Mustard
Sauté the onions, add the jalapeños, then ketchup, sugar, mustard and liquid smoke, then simmer for an hour.
The best thing about this BBQ sauce it is flexible,
-if you want a more sweet sauce then add more sugar or honey, if you want more savory add less sugar and more mustard.
-For a Mexican style, add red chile sauce and less Ketchup.
-If you are making your own smoked meats the use the drippings and don’t use the liquid smoke.
