Last week I made pork tenderloin for dinner, and ended up with a ton of leftovers. Aside from the typical 'pack some for Mike's lunch, eat the rest for mine' leftover routine, I threw together some delicious BBQ pork sandwiches. Definitely a man-pleaser, but since I eat like a man, I'm hooked on them too, and can hardly wait to make them again. Here's the recipe, if you even want to call it that.
Leftover pork tenderloin, thiny sliced.
Chicken and rib BBQ sauce ( I suppose you could use your favorite flavour, I used chicken and rib because I love the sweet/spicy combo)
Cheese, thinly sliced (I used medium cheddar)
Onion, sliced
Lettuce
Tomato, sliced
Cucumber, sliced
Bacon, optional (I had tried both ways, and they were both delicious, but come on.... bacon!)
As for the bread, you could use anything really. I don't often have "fancy" bread on hand, so I used a crusty roll that I toasted in the oven, and toasted whole wheat bread the next day.
Combine the pork and a generous dollop of BBQ sauce in a bowl, microwave until hot ( In my microwave, this took about 1 minute and 30 seconds). You want it steaming so it melts the cheese. Mix well, and the pork should fall apart.
Spread the BBQ pork on bottom half of roll, bun, toast, whatever. Top with cheese. It should be so hot the cheese melts into the pork.
Layer on your toppings. Anything goes really, but I went with my staple sandwich toppings.
Top with the other half of your roll/bun/bread.
Squish together, and eat!
Yummy!
