Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf of Cuban bread
  • 3 oz deli ham
  • 3 oz pre-cooked, shredded pork (found in the meat department of most grocery stores)
  • 2 slices of provolone cheese
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 4-5 hamburger dill chips
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions
 

  • Cut a large section of the bread on a diagonal and then cut it in half so you have a top and a bottom. Spread mayo of both slices of the bread and then mustard on one side.
  • Place one slice of provolone cheese on each side of the bread.
  • On one side, layer the ham and shredded pork. Top with the pickles. Close the sandwich.
  • Heat up a grill pan or regular grill over medium/high heat. Spread a thin layer of butter on both sides of the sandwich and place the sandwich in the pan. Top the sandwich with something heavy like another heavy pan so the sandwich is pressed between the 2 pans.
  • Grill on both sides. Remove from the pan, cut in half on a diagonal and enjoy!
