Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cuban Casserole

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a cast iron skillet over medium heat, combine the whipping cream, softened cream cheese, and yellow mustard. Stir for 3-4 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the prepared pulled pork, sliced ham, half of the dill pickles, and half of the shredded Swiss cheese. Mix for 2-3 minutes until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread evenly, and sprinkle remaining Swiss cheese and dill pickles on top.
Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Keep an eye on it.
Remove from the oven, let cool for 5 minutes, then serve.
