    Notes and tips

    Use leftover pulled pork or prepare it specifically for this recipe.
    These sandwiches are delicious cold, but can also be reheated.
    For a more flavorful version, add a thin layer of Dijon mustard.
    Pulled pork freezes very well in individual portions.
    The secret to a good grilled cheese: cook over medium heat so that the cheese melts without the bread burning.
