Cook the pork loin on a smoker or in an oven according to package directions until it reaches the proper internal temperature.
When the pork is almost finished cooking, brush it with a portion of the barbecue sauce.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the heat and let it rest briefly before thinly slicing.
Lay out the slices of Texas toast. Spread pimento cheese on one side of each slice.
On half of the bread slices, layer the thinly sliced pork over the pimento cheese.
Drizzle the remaining barbecue sauce over the pork.
Top with the remaining slices of bread, pimento cheese side down, to form sandwiches.
Spread mayonnaise evenly on the outside top of each sandwich.
Place the sandwiches mayonnaise-side down on a hot griddle or in a large skillet.
Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the pimento cheese is melted.
Remove from the griddle, slice in half, and serve immediately.
Store leftover pork separately from assembled sandwiches in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat pork gently in a skillet with extra BBQ sauce before reassembling.

Assemble the sandwich up to 2 hours before grilling and wrap in foil. Grill just before serving to keep the Texas toast crispy.
Pork tenderloin or boneless pork chops work as substitutes. Slice thinner cuts and pound to even thickness for faster cooking.
Cook until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. The meat should be slightly pink at the center but not at the very middle.
Yes, store-bought pimento cheese saves time. Homemade versions offer fresher flavor but require mixing cheddar, pimentos, and mayo.
Use medium heat and butter the outside of the Texas toast. Grill 2-3 minutes per side until golden, watching closely to prevent charring.
