Ingredients for Smoked Pork Cubano

Method

Directions for Preparing Smoked Pork Cubano

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the thick-cut bacon until crispy. Remove from skillet and let drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On each hoagie roll, layer smoked pulled pork, crispy bacon, and aged Swiss cheese. Add a generous drizzle of Carolina Gold sauce and top with bread & butter pickles.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a panini press or grill pan over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches on the press or pan and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Fries

    While the sandwiches are grilling, cook the French fries according to package instructions or until golden and crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the grill, slice in half, and serve with a side of crispy French fries.
