Round 2 Recipe Open Faced Roasted Pork Sandwich

SECOND TIME AROUND -- HOT PORK SANDWICH WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Reheat leftover pork in microwave, stove-top or oven.
• Heat gravy slowly in small saucepan over low/med heat or in microwave at 50% power 3-4 minutes.
• Reheat leftover pork in microwave for 30 sec on high (micro. ovens vary).
• Place one slice of bread on dinner plate, then sliced pork.
• Ladle a little gravy over pork, then top with second slice of bread.
• Spoon mashed potatoes on the side.
• Ladle rest of gravy over both, or just on top of the sandwich.
• Enjoy!
• Note: I used the leftover pork roast stock, milk, flour, butter, salt and pepper to make the gravy. There is no recipe for the gravy.

OPEN-FACE PORK SANDWICHES

ABSOLUTELY ADDICTIVE ROAST PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees farenheit.
• Sprinkle pork roast with salt and pepper and place on a rack in a roasting pan.
• Roast for two hours or until temperature of center of pork registers 150-160 degrees (145 degrees is the new "safe" temp for pork.).
• Melt butter over roast while it is still in the roasting pan.
• Remove roast from pan, saving the drippings and juice.
• Add Au Jus mix and water to drippings and cook according to directions on package.
• Place bread in the oven (which has been turned off just after the roast is done) and let it crisp a bit. The heat will help to melt the cheese better than just the heat of the meat will.
• Let roast cool for about 10 minutes, then slice thinly.
• Pile pork and cheese on bread while meat is still hot.
• Serve with Au Jus dipping gravy on the side and LOTS o' napkins.

ROUND 2 RECIPE - PORK PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil, in a small saucepan over low heat and add the garlic, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, then stir in the tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat and stir in the basil.
• Remove the pork meat from the bone and slice into large strips.
• Spoon a layer of tomato sauce on each roll and top with sliced pork meat. Cover each with more tomato sauce, sprinkle evenly with Parmesan, then top with mozzarella. Put them on a sheet pan and broil until the cheese is bubbling and pork chop is heated through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the broiler, arrange on serving plates and serve.
