Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Beer Cheese (link)
Leftover pulled pork
Leftover pulled pork
2 T. unsalted butter
2 T. flour
2/3 c. beer
1/3 c. milk
6 oz. freshly grated white cheddar cheese
8 slices whole grain bread
softened butter for spreading
2 T. flour
2/3 c. beer
1/3 c. milk
6 oz. freshly grated white cheddar cheese
8 slices whole grain bread
softened butter for spreading
To make the beer cheese sauce, heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add butter. Once sizzling, whisk in flour and stir for 1-2 minutes until golden and fragrant and bubbly. Add in beer and milk, whisking well to combine, then reduce heat to low and add cheese, stirring until totally melted and smooth. Keep over low heat and stir every few minutes while assembling sandwiches.
Heat an electric skillet or griddle over medium heat. Butter the outside sides of each slice of bread. Place 4 slices butter-side down on the skillet, then top with a few handfuls of pulled pork. Cover in cheese sauce, then top with the other slices of bread, butter-side up. I cooked these grilled cheeses a lot quicker than the others I usually make since the cheese is already melted. As long as the pork and cheese sauce is warm, cook these until each side is deeply golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.

Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese (link??)
White Sauce
1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (I used nonfat)
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
pinch of sugar
pinch of garlic powder
Buffalo Sauce
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup Frank’s hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup cooked and shredded chicken (from about 1 small chicken breast)
2 tablespoons minced red onion
2 tablespoons minced celery
4 1/2-inch thick slices Italian bread
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
To make the white sauce: Stir the yogurt, mayonnaise, sugar, garlic powder and a pinch each of salt and pepper together in a small bowl. (The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated.)
To make the buffalo sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan set over medium-low heat. Add the hot sauce, brown sugar and vinegar and stir until combined. Add the shredded chicken, red onion, and celery and toss to coat. If the chicken was cold, keep the pan over low heat and let it warm through a bit.
Lightly butter one side of two slices of the bread. Flip the slices over and lay them butter side down. Spread half of the white sauce on the side of those two slices that is now facing up (the unbuttered side). Distribute half of the cheese among the two slices. Top each slice with half of the chicken mixture and then distribute the remaining cheese over the chicken. Lightly butter one side of the two remaining slices of bread, then flip them over and use the other half of the white sauce to coat the unbuttered side. Top each sandwich with a slice of this bread to finish it.

Mardi Gras Pasta
12 oz. fettuccine pasta
½ c. butter
3 T. green onions, chopped
1 lb. sliced Andouille sausage
2 T. minced garlic
½ c. chopped tomato
1 c. fresh shrimp, peeled, deveined, chopped
1 T. dry white wine
1 T. lemon juice
1 c. heavy cream
green and red bell pepper, chopped
½ c. diced cold butter
1 T. parsley
s & p
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and
bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the
fettuccine, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring
occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the
bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a large skillet over
medium heat, and cook and stir the green onions, mushrooms, and andouille
sausage until the mushrooms begin to release their liquid, about 5 minutes.
Stir in garlic and tomato, and cook, stirring often, until the garlic is
fragrant, 3 minutes; stir in the shrimp, and cook and stir until the shrimp are
opaque and pink, about 3 more minutes. Pour in white wine and lemon juice, and
cook until the liquid has reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Pour in heavy
cream, and cook until the cream has reduced and thickened. Stir in the green,
red, and yellow bell pepper.
Drop in about 2 tablespoons of the diced cold
butter. Holding the skillet by the handle, swirl the sauce over medium-low heat
until the butter has melted and incorporated; repeat several times with 2 more
tablespoons of butter until all remaining butter is incorporated. Remove the
sauce from the heat, and stir in parsley. Season to taste with salt and black
pepper. Gently toss the sauce with the cooked fettuccine to serve.
