Ingredients:
3 lbs pork roast
sea salt
freshly cracked pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons butter
1 (1 ounce) package mccormack au jus mix
3 1/2 cups water
1 lb monterey jack pepper cheese, sliced thin
French bread (or any type of rolls with a crust that is not super crusty) or Italian bread ( or any type of rolls with a crust that is not super crusty)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Sprinkle pork roast with salt and pepper and place on a rack in a roasting pan.
Roast for two hours.
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.
