Cuban Sandwich
Every Cuban sandwich lover knows that the secret to the sammie’s success is the assembly. And this recipe is no exception. The BBQ pulled pork, sliced ham, Swiss cheese, pickle and yellow mustard between L&B French Bread create layers of irresistible flavor, making this sandwich something you simply can’t refuse. And because it’s made with L&B Ready To Heat BBQ Pulled Pork, it’s super simple to make for quick weeknight meals.
If you don’t have a sandwich press, make sure you have something on hand with a substantial amount of weight — a cast-iron pan works great. One last tip? Don’t plan on sharing. One bite of this meaty, tangy, cheesy and perfectly crunchy sandwich and you’ll want to devour the whole thing yourself!
