When you need comfort food there is nothing quite as comforting as digging into fragrantly hot mashed potato smothered in grilled cheese only to find a delicious pulled pork with veggie filling beneath. YUM. You can really add as many veggies as you want to this one, and casserole it all the way! Otherwise a side of steamed broccoli and peas on the side would be delish!
