Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients: sharp cheddar cheese, pulled pork barbecue, coleslaw, pickles, white bread, and unsalted butter.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Filling

    In a bowl, combine the pulled pork barbecue and coleslaw. Mix them well to create a creamy, flavorful filling.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on one side of each slice of white bread.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the non-buttered side of two slices of bread, layer 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese, the pulled pork and coleslaw mixture, a handful of pickles, and top with the remaining 2 slices of cheddar cheese. Finally, place the other two slices of bread on top, buttered side out.

  3. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Grill for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Once grilled, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute, then slice it in half. Serve immediately with extra pickles on the side if desired.
