With summer in full swing our grill is working overtime.ย Either my husband or I are outside grilling three or four times a week.ย Summer grilling is one of my favorite things because it makes healthier food, it’s easier clean up, and it doesn’t heat up the kitchen.
We generally cook at home 5-6 nights a week.ย ย We try to eat vegetarian at least once if not twice a week.ย I’m always on the lookout for vegetarian products that taste great and appeal to both vegetarians and meat lovers.ย ย One of my favorite products to put on the grill is MorningStar Farmsยฎ Spicy Black Bean Burgers.
I recently went to Walmart to grab a box of the Spicy Black Bean Burgers to put on the grill.ย While I was there I saw a new product.ย ย ย I found MorningStar Farmsยฎ Veggie Pulled Pork in the freezer case along side the black bean burgers and decided I had to try it.ย ย There are so many things I do with pulled pork and a vegetarian option sounded awesome.
One thing I love about grilling MorningStar Farmsยฎ products is that they cook to temperature quickly so I don’t have to spend a ton of time at the grill.ย Instead I can spend that time enjoying a delicious meal outside with my family.ย It’s fun to eat outside on the porch with my family in the summertime.
I quickly decided that I wanted to make Vegetarian Pulled Pork Cuban Sandwiches on the grill along side some of the Spicy Black Bean Burgers.ย I put the pulled pork in the microwave and cooked it until it was heated through.ย Then I put it on a hoagie roll and topped it off with Cuban seasonings, pickles, pepperoncinis, and Swiss cheese.ย ย The smell alone had me drooling.
Then I fired up our grill and put the Spicy Black Bean Burgers on one side and the Vegetarian Pulled Pork Cuban Sandwiches on the other side.ย I cooked them for about 10 minutes and everything looked great.ย ย The burgers had grill marks on them and were cooked through while the hoagie rolls were slightly crisp on the outside and the cheese was melted goodness on the inside.
I piled everything up on a cutting board and served it with ketchup and mustard.ย We had plenty of food which was great because we had a few friends over.ย ย Both the burgers and the Cuban Sandwiches were devoured.
I thought that the burgers had a great flavor.ย They were a little bit spicy, a little bit smokey, and tasted great on a bun or on their own.ย The Vegetarian Pulled Pork Sandwiches were incredible.ย They had a ton of flavor from the lime juice and seasonings plus the MorningStar Farmsยฎ Veggie Pulled Pork had a firm texture and the pepperoncinis added a nice bite.ย The Swiss cheese held everything together and it was a winning grilled sandwich recipe.
