It is my favorite cooking season of the year when all the ingredients and produce seem so much fresher and nearly every dinner can be cooked on the grill. These Grilled BBQ Cheddar Pork Sandwiches are prepared completely on the grill and get dinner on the table quickly!
I used a Smithfield® Slow Smoked Mesquite Flavor Loin Filet and it is the perfect flavor base for these sandwiches! The smoky flavor of the pork goes together so well with the bbq sauce and sharp cheddar cheese! Garlic mayonnaise and arugula round of the delicious flavors in this sandwich and you seriously won’t believe how good this simple meal is!
Using an already marinated piece of meat saves so much time! Normally you have to prepare a marinade in advance and let it sit for a while to really absorb the flavors. All that work is already done for you here and all you need to do it cook the pork! I sliced my tenderloin into medallions before grilling to save even more time. The smaller pieces cook up so quickly. While the pork rests off the grill, throw the buns on the grates to get all toasty. Once those are those, you assemble the sandwiches! So much flavor but barely any cooking is involved!
Pork is such a versatile meat and these marinated pork loins, roasts and filets come in tons of different flavors and are so easy to prepare. In the winter, I love to roast them in the oven for a hearty, comforting meal or you can throw them in a pan for a quick stir fry! You won’t need the entire loin for these Grilled BBQ Cheddar Pork Sandwiches, and the grilled medallions make for great leftovers! The smoky flavors from this mesquite version are so good wrapped up in a tortilla with some rice, beans, and cheese for a quick and easy burrito!
I love this time of the year for the change in the weather, but May is seriously a crazy month. School programs, soccer games, field trips, and graduations make for hectic evenings and some nights I have no idea when we will fit in time for dinner! These Grilled BBQ Cheddar Pork Sandwiches are full of so much flavor but are ready so fast thanks to Smithfield® Marinated Fresh Pork! I hope you love these sandwiches as much as we do!

Pinned!! My boyfriend is going to flip when I make these! They look delicious and are right up his alley! I love any excuse to break out the grill this time of year too
Looks tasty and a delicious way to eat pork! I’d like to make these during summer. We grill a lot!
What a really great barbecue recipe for now and for the summer! We do so many hotdogs and hamburgers that a change up in using pork loin will be so welcomed (and yummy!)
This looks like such a yummy summer dinner! And it looks easy enough to accomplish between sport practices, play dates and life itself!
This sandwich looks amazing. I need to try cooking pork to make a sandwich. I love those fresh greens on top too.
This looks so yummy. My husband is a huge fan of park loins so I know he will love to try these.
These are some mouth watering pictures! I love some grilled pork loin! I am in the mood for this now.
My growing boys will love this kind of meal. I like that it’s grilled as well and not fried! I would love to make this for them one of these days!
That looks like it turned out delicious! I will have to go pick up one of those Smithfield Loins. I love that it is already marinated, which makes my life that much easier!
What a great summer night dinner idea!!! I never made a pork sandwich like this before!
I had previously made the same recipe with beef but loved it even more with pork!
Those already prepared pork loins ready to be grilled are something I have to try. This meal and recipe comes just as the weather is warming for grilling outside.
Yes, they make for such a quick meal!
Oh that pork sandwich looks so delicious! My husband will surely love this! I will definitely try this recipe.
Thanks! My husband loved it!
I am seriously a sucker for a good sandwich, and I would be all over these! That grilled flavor + the BBQ sauce would make these amazing. Thanks so much for sharing! #client
Thank you David!
This sandwiches remind a bit of Banh Mis. They look so delicious and fun alternative to just making a typical burger on the grill.
Yes! Definitely a change up from a burger!
I love the idea of using arugula with this sandwich. It adds a nice peppery flavor that will complement the bbq sauce perfectly.
Arugula is my favorite and I add it to everything that I can!
Ooh I need these in my life. they look absolutely amazing and I think my whole family would be obsessed with them!
Thank you Brittany!
My son loves pulled pork sandwiches. I’m definitely going to give it a try. Thanks for the idea.
You’re welcome!
Wow these look so delicious! I am adding to this weeks dinner menu for sure! My husband will love it1
This looks absolutely delicious! I can already tell you that this will become my boyfriend’s favourite sandwich very quickly – he absolutely loves these baguettes and cheese so it’s a no brainer haha! x
I added this to my meal planner! I love it and it would be a great lunch meal for my husband!
These look amazing! Perfect for lunch or dinner. A new item to put on the grill besides chicken and beef. Yum!
Oh yumm. The perfect Summer lunch sandwich. My toddler would even eat that. The pictures definitely help out.
This is such a great way to use pork! I think I would probably do this with leftovers so we could turn this into more meals.
We get this pork tenderloin every week! I never thought to put it in a sandwich before, that looks awesome! Definitely going to try that this week!
