Casserole Base

1 cup Sliced Ham Opt for small pieces for even distribution in every bite.
2 cups Shredded Swiss Cheese Shred cheese yourself for better melting.

Creamy Sauce

1 cup Whipping Cream A lower-fat cream can be used, but may lack richness.
8 oz Cream Cheese Soften before use for easier mixing.
2 tbsp Yellow Mustard Adjust the quantity based on your preferred zestiness.

Topping and Garnish

1 cup Sliced Dill Pickles Stick with whole dill pickles rather than relish for the best texture.

Cooking Steps

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment.
In your large skillet, combine the whipping cream, softened cream cheese, and yellow mustard. Heat and stir until smooth.
Remove from heat and fold in the pulled pork, sliced ham, half of the dill pickles, and half of the shredded Swiss cheese.
Spread the mixture evenly in the skillet. Top with remaining Swiss cheese and sliced dill pickles.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until bubbly and cheese is melted.
Let cool for a few minutes, garnish with additional dill pickles, and serve warm.
