Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray cookie sheet or 15 x 10 x 1-inch pan with cooking spray. Drain juice from pork roast into blender; set aside. Shred or chop pork into bite-size pieces; set aside.
2 Unroll dough into 1 large (about 14x9-inch) rectangle. With kitchen scissors or sharp knife, cut dough crosswise making 2 (9x7-inch) rectangles. Sprinkle each dough rectangle with 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1 teaspoon garlic. Place half of ham and half of cheese in 3-inch-wide strip lengthwise down center of each dough rectangle. Divide pork evenly over cheese.
3 Bring long sides of dough up over filling to meet in center; pinch seam to seal. Pinch ends to seal. With pancake turner, place seam side down on cookie sheet or 15x10x1-inch pan. Cut 3 diagonal slashes in top of each sandwich.
4 Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet; place on wire rack. Cool 5 minutes. Meanwhile, pour broth and undrained green chiles into blender with juice from pork; blend on medium-high speed 15 to 30 seconds or until smooth. Pour juice mixture into 2-cup microwavable measuring cup.
5 To serve, microwave juice mixture on High 2 to 3 minutes or until hot; divide mixture into 4 (6- or 8-oz) ramekins or cups. Cut each sandwich diagonally in half. Serve sandwiches with juice mixture for dipping.

This was okay. Nothing special...didn't really like the au jus. Seemed like it needed something other than all the meat.

I went to a small local grocer with the list of ingredients for this recipe and ended up substituting a lot. Instead of cooked pork roast, I used honey roasted turkey. Instead of country Italian bread, I had to use French. I find pepper Jack cheese to be too spicy, so I bought Provolone, Aged Swiss and Sharp White Cheddar instead. I know it sounds like I hardly followed the recipe at all, but when I''m in the kitchen recipes are only suggestions and guides for times and temperatures. Recipes like this that can easily be customized to my family''s individual tastes are always keepers!

This was very easy to make and tasted great!! A little too spicy for my younger children, but my teenager and her friend loved it! Regular jack cheese would likely be just as tasty!

This recipe was fabulous! We couldn''t find the italian loaf in our grocery store, so substituted with the pizza crust, and it worked fine. We will DEFINITELY be making this again!!!
