Slow Cooker Cubano Subs

11/19/2018

Holidays got you frazzled? Then throw this in the slow cooker in the morning, and you'll have a rib stickin' feast by the time you get home.

Pork is on sale for 99 cents a pound at most food markets. Being this recipe is so cheap I splurge on some fresh sub rolls to make it extra special.

2 pounds pork roast, fat on bottom removed
7 tablespoons mustard, divided
1 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
1 pound fully cooked boneless ham steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 jar (16 ounces) whole baby dill pickles, undrained, sliced thick
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
8 submarine buns, split

Rub pork with 3 tablespoons mustard, season with pepper and place in a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Add ham and pickles, including pickle juice. Cover and cook on low until tender, turning halfway through, about 6 hours.

Shred pork with two forks. Sprinkle cheese over meat mixture; cover and cook until cheese melts, about 30 minutes.

When ready to serve, slice rolls and toast lightly in a toaster oven or broiler. Spread remaining mustard evenly over both sides. Using a slotted spoon, top rolls with meat mixture. Serve immediately.

Here's a great creepy dinner for the month of October. Why not get into the season by spending a few more minutes in the kitchen to bring a smile on your families' faces?

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup dried minced onion
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
6 slices American cheese
12 dinner rolls, split
24 pimiento-stuffed olive slice

Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle position. Preheat oven to 400°. Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1/4-in. julienne strips. Place in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Mix salt, cumin, thyme, cinnamon and pepper. Drizzle sweet potatoes with oil; sprinkle with spice mixture. Toss to coat.

Bake on bottom oven rack 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and tender, turning once. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine beef, onion and seasoned salt, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Press onto bottom of a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake on top oven rack 15-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°.

Drain fat from baking dish; place cheese slices evenly over meat. Bake 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Cut into 12 patties. Place one patty on each roll bottom; arrange eight fries to form spider legs. Replace tops. Press two olive slices onto cheese to form eyes.

Ham and Swiss Monte Cristo

Here's a quick, yummy sandwich that's thirty to make. With only a few ingredients, you have a wholesome, healthy meal that everyone is going to enjoy.

Most food historian generally think that the Monte Cristo sandwich is a variation of a French dish called Croque Monsieur. This original grilled cheese sandwich consisted of Gruyere cheese and lean ham between two slices of crust-less bread, fried in clarified butter. It was originally served in 1910 in a Paris cafe.

If you love French Toast, you will definitely love this sandwich. The basic sandwich is a double-decker sandwich, two slices of white bread containing ham, turkey, or chicken, and a slice of cheese that are dipped in beaten egg and fried in butter. The secret to this sandwich is the batter, and getting it fried just right. This sandwich is crisp on the outside and custardy on the inside.

2 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 slices multigrain bread
2 ounces thinly sliced deli turkey
2 ounces thinly sliced smoked deli ham
2 ounces sliced baby Swiss cheese
2 large egg eggs, beaten
1-1/2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar

Combine mayonnaise and wasabi; set aside. In another bowl, combine mango and brown sugar; puree with an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender. Set aside.

Assemble sandwiches by spreading two slices of bread with mayonnaise mixture. Layer slices evenly with turkey, ham and cheese. If desired, spread remaining bread with chutney. Top meat and cheese with remaining bread. Dip sandwiches in eggs.

In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, brown sandwiches over medium-high heat about 2-3 minutes on each side.

Yum! Memorial Day is just around the corner, and what a wonderful excuse to create a better burger. This one is sure to win raves when you serve'em.

I know bacon can be a bit out of the ballpark when you are on a limited budget, but at my local deep discount store it can be scored for only $1.59 a pack. If you haven't found an "odd" store that serves overstocked items, you need to keep your eyes peeled. They are popping up everywhere.

2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon steak sauce
1/4 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 pound ground beef
4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
8 cooked bacon strips
Optional toppings: lettuce leaves and tomato, onion and pickle slices

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into four patties.

Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 3 in. from the heat for 4-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Top with cheese. Grill 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted. Serve on buns with bacon and toppings of your choice.

BBQ Chicken Sandwiches with Bacon

0 Comments

I am always thinking of my readers. I've decided this summer to add a new section of cooking titled "Sandwiches". It seems summer is the one of the busiest times of the year filled with great activities for the whole family. Why be set back with cooking during these warm months? Give your house a break and keep it cool by pulling together some hearty, thrifty sandwiches for dinner.

Just a reminder, chicken breasts can still be picked up at Winn Dixie for $1.99 pd. And, yes, that's boneless, skinless Tyson brand.

1/4 cup BBQ sauce
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp BBQ seasoning salt
4 slices American cheese
4 slices cooked bacon
4 favorite hamburger buns, split
3 bacon strips, cooked and cut in half
Lettuce leaves and tomato slices and onion slices, optional

Place chicken on sheet pan. Sprinkle chicken with seasonings. Bake at 400 degrees for 18 mins.

Top with drizzled BBQ sauce and cheese during the last 1 minute of cooking.

Serve chicken on buns with bacon, 1 slice (halved for each).

If desired, add lettuce and tomato and onion
