Cooking with Mark: Pulled Pork Sandwich

Welcome to the first installment of Cooking with Mark, where I'll discuss how I flex my culinary chops.

  • Degree of Difficulty: Low
  • Prep Time Required: Low
  • Amount Prepared: approx 2 dinners
  • Total ingredients: 3
  • Equipment needed: Microwave
 

This is a more recent creation of mine that I'm pretty proud of. The key ingredient here is the Lloyd's pulled pork. This stuff is awesome, because it's tasty, and it lasts a long time in the fridge (not the freezer, which is a pain). Even better, it comes in a sweet Microwave-safe container.

So let's get to the recipe.

  1. Prepare pulled pork as described on the package. For me, it was like 3 minutes at 50% in the microwave, a stir, and another couple minutes at 50%.
  2. Scoop pork onto some nice, hearty, wheaty bread.
  3. Top with some shredded cheddar cheese (fat free preferred).

There you go. You could theoretically eat it like an open faced sandwich, that might be alright. But I recommend picking up the sides of the bread and eating it like a hot dog. You know, just like you folded over that square pizza in elementary school? Same way here. You might need a fork to pick up the inevitable fallen pulled pork, but it's worth it.
