This smoked provolone sauce adds great flavor (and texture) to any recipe you need a cheese sauce. I love it over pulled pork since it has a nice smokey flavor, but not so overbearing that you can’t taste the meat. I made a big batch and squirted it over pulled pork tater tot nachos (below) and stromboli, but you’ll also love it over grilled burgers or chicken sandwiches, or the best, Italian sausage sandwiches.
This sauce would also be great as a dip (maybe add some green chiles or Rotel) or over “regular” tortilla nachos, or over an omelet. Heck it’s just great. Make it!
