1
Caramelize Onions
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 1 sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
2
Cook Bacon
In the same skillet, add the 6 slices of smoked bacon and cook until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.
3
Prepare Pulled Pork
If using pre-cooked pulled BBQ pork, ensure it is heated through. If making from scratch, slow-cook your pork shoulder with BBQ sauce until tender, then shred it.

4
Assemble the Sandwich
On one slice of toasted sourdough, spread 1 tablespoon of Duke’s mayo. Layer with 1 cup of pulled BBQ pork, followed by 4 slices of smoked ham, 6 slices of crispy bacon, and 1 cup of caramelized onions.
5
Add Cheese and Sauce
Top the sandwich with 1 cup of fontina cheese and drizzle 2 tablespoons of table sauce over the top. Place the second slice of toasted sourdough on top.
6
Grill the Sandwich
In the skillet used earlier, grill the sandwich over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
7
Serve
Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute. Slice in half, serve with pickles on the side, and enjoy your Triple Crown sandwich!
