Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! This was designed with leftovers in mind. You could also grab a side of pork from a favorite local bbq restaurant.
We love Pepper Jack cheese because it adds so much flavor, but Monterey Jack or even mild cheddar are great choices if you want something more mild. I do however suggest shredding your cheese fresh from a block as opposed to pre-grated options, which can sometimes have additives that prevent smooth melting.
Yes! Try sliced jalapeños, pickled onions, pepperoncinis, or a drizzle of extra BBQ sauce to make them your own.
