Notes
You can also make these yummy sandwiches using leftovers. If you have some leftover pork chops, pork steaks, or tenderloin, chop it up, reheat it, then assemble the sandwiches like in the recipe.If you want to use pork chops instead of pork tenderloins, place about 4 boneless pork chops on a baking sheet, brush with barbecue, and bake at 425-degrees for about 30 minutes, or until cooked through. Then assemble the sandwiches as described in the recipe above.
