Total Time:35 minutes
Yield:6 servings
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
4 cups prepared pulled pork (without sauce or carnitas)
8 ounces sliced ham, cut into small pieces
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese (shredded yourself for better melting)
1 cup whipping cream
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
¼ cup yellow mustard
1 cup sliced dill pickles
Additional dill pickles for garnish
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the casserole.
Prepare Sauce: In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, combine the whipping cream, softened cream cheese, and yellow mustard. Stir continuously until the cream cheese melts completely and forms a smooth sauce.
Add Meats and Pickles: Incorporate the pulled pork, diced ham, half of the sliced dill pickles, and half of the shredded Swiss cheese into the sauce. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Top with Cheese and Pickles: Evenly spread the remaining shredded Swiss cheese and sliced dill pickles on top of the mixture in the skillet.
Bake the Casserole: Place the skillet in the oven and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is fully melted.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish with additional dill pickles if desired. Serve hot for a delicious meal.
Notes
Using freshly shredded Swiss cheese enhances melting and flavor.
You can substitute ham with other cured pork varieties if preferred.
Be sure the pulled pork is free of sauce to avoid making the casserole too saucy.
A cast iron skillet works best for even heating and oven safety.
Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving to set slightly.
