Tips & Tricks
For the juiciest pork loin, always cook it with the fat side up so the fat melts down and keeps the meat tender.
If you have time, try making your own ciabatta bread for an extra special touch.
This sandwich is just as delicious cold, so don’t hesitate to enjoy leftovers straight from the fridge.
FAQS
Can I use pork tenderloin instead of pork loin?

Can I substitute the sherry in the mushrooms?
Yes, you can substitute sherry with a splash of white wine or chicken broth for a similar flavor profile.
Can I make the cheese sauce from scratch?
Absolutely! You can use your favorite cheese sauce recipe or follow the one provided in the recipe link.
How do I store leftovers?
Store any leftover pork, mushrooms, and cheese sauce in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Can I freeze the pulled pork?
Yes, you can freeze the pulled pork in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
