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!
COOK ONCE, EAT TWICE:
This recipe is using the Basic Pulled Pork recipe which you can make well in advance and either keep a portion in the fridge or freezer. Making this is as simple as making a great Mash and grating some cheese..and yep. Dinner is served!
