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.
Smoked provolone can sometimes be difficult to find. Regular provolone works just fine in this cheese sauce. If you’re hankerin’ for that smokiness, you can cold smoke the cheese if you have a smoker.
The Multi-Purpose Cheese Sauce
This smoked provolone cheese sauce would also be great as a dip. You could add a few chopped green chiles. Or even mix in some Rotel tomatoes, adding a little heat.
This sauce is great over ‘normal’ nachos too. You know, the ones made with tortilla chips!
