Things To Grab
- Large rimmed baking pan
- Heavy aluminum foil
- Ruler
- Charcoal or gas grill
- Meat thermometer
Directions
Cut 4 (14x12-inch each) sheets of heavy foil. Divide and layer 1/3 potatoes, 1 cup pulled pork, and 1 cup shredded Cheddar on the foil sheets. Repeat layers two more times using remaining ingredients. Bring up short sides of foil. Double-fold top, then double-fold ends to seal packets. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
To grill, preheat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat (375 degrees). Open packets by gently unfolding tops of packets and pulling back foil; leave ends of packets in tact. Grill 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through (165 degrees). Remove from grill. Top with sliced jalapenos; drizzle with barbeque sauce and ranch salad dressing, if desired.
