The bread soaks up the bacon dripping/butter combo and the smoked pepper jack cheese adds a nice kick. :)

I know I've made this combo of cheese before, I think it's my favorite so far.

Thanks for looking!
 
Now how do you expect me to go to sleep now? I guess I'll have to settle for a bowl of cereal.
 
If my plate wasn't already full and I knew how to keep it warm, I might make this for our Super Bowl potluck. Looks delicious.
 
Oh, my! I never thought of smoked pepper jack. What type of wood did you use to cold smoke the cheese?
 
OMG that looks freaking good. If I wasn`t so happily married I would offer to marry you gain 300 pounds and die a happy overfed man

Yup. If the wife ever kicks me out, I'm following the smoke to Oklahoma!

I don't know how Food Network hasn't found and offered you a show yet. Cookin With Cowgirl! And you could cook while riding a horse or something. It writes itself!
 
Dang that looks good. I have only made the pulled bread once and might be doing this now on Sunday :grin:.
