Ingredients

Scale

For the Pulled Pork:

2 lbs pork shoulder or pork butt
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup chicken or beef broth

For the Grilled Cheese Sandwich:

8 slices bread of your choice
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
Butter for spreading

Instructions

Season the pork shoulder or butt with salt and pepper on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the pork to the skillet and add barbecue sauce and broth. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 6-8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once the pork is cooked, shred it using two forks. Mix the shredded pork with the sauce in the skillet until well combined.
