Ingredients

BBQ sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons Borden® Butter

  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced

  • 1 jalapeno chile pepper, diced (Optional)

  • 1 cup ketchup

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • Liquid smoke, to taste

Sandwich:

  • 1 (3 pound) pork shoulder roast

  • 1 (1 pound) loaf sourdough bread, sliced

  • 16 slices Borden® Singles Sensations® Extra Sharp Cheddar

  • 4 tablespoons Borden® Butter

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions until soft; stir in jalapeños, ketchup, sugar and liquid smoke. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for an hour or until sauce has thickened to desired consistency.

  2. Smoke pork shoulder in a hot smoker for 3 to 5 hours at 210 degrees F (internal meat temperature of 150 degrees F). Remove, and wrap in aluminum foil. Refrigerate overnight.

  3. Remove excess fat from pork. Using two forks, shred remaining meat into a large bowl. Mix in barbecue sauce.

  4. Brown 2 slices of buttered sourdough bread in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place a slice of cheese on each slice. Top with ? of pulled pork mixture, a second slice of cheese and another slice of bread. Turn sandwich over when bottom slice has browned and brown the other side.

Elsie's Tips:

Feel free to personalize the sauce. Want it sweeter? Add more sugar. Want it spicier? Add more jalapeños.

Use prepared smoked pork shoulder in place of smoking your own pork.
