MOM'S PERFECT SUB SANDWICH

ALL-AMERICAN DOWN-HOME PATRIOTIC MEATLOAF SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and onions, season with some salt and saute until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 to 2 minutes without letting the garlic brown. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• In a large bowl, add the crackers, milk, mustard, Worcestershire, hot sauce and eggs. Whisk together, and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the meat, parsley and cooled onions. Mix with your hands until evenly combined. Bake a tester meatloaf patty to taste and test the seasoning, adjusting as necessary. Using your hands, gently form the meatloaf into a loaf about 9-by-5-inches. Place on a baking sheet.
• For the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar. Slather half of the glaze over the meatloaf. Make sure not to touch the meatloaf with the spoon and then put that spoon back into the glaze; don't cross contaminate, people! Bake until the meat registers 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 hour. Let rest for 20 minutes before slicing for sandwiches.
• For the sandwich build: Place a slice of cheese on the bottom griddled bun, then a slice of meatloaf, spoon some extra glaze on the loaf, pop on a few pickles and top with crispy onions. Repeat to make 3 more sandwiches.

ALL AMERICAN STEAK SANDWICH

Steps:

• SAUCE: Mix all sauce ingredients well, cover and set aside.
• POTATOES: Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F Add sliced potatoes and fry, turning occasionally, until done (about 7-10 min). Drain potatoes on paper towels, and sprinkle lightly with salt.
• ROLLS: To the pan with oil, reduce heat to medium and add the butter. When melted, add the garlic and cook 2-3 minutes until garlic is tender.
• Place the cut side of the rolls face down into the garlic butter. Press gently to coat. Place rolls onto a baking sheet, butter side up. Broil in oven or toaster oven until nicely browned and toasted. Remove from broiler and set rolls onto plates. Add a slice of Swiss cheese to the bottom bun.
• VEGETABLES: To the pan over medium-high heat, add the peppers and onions. Cover and let steam 2-3 minutes. Remove lid, stir, and continue cooking until onions are translucent and peppers done. Place vegetables in a dish and set aside.
• MEAT: To the pan add a bit more olive oil and butter if necessary. (enough to sear steak). Add seasoned steak and let sear for 2-3 minutes. Toss and continue searing until almost desired doneness. Add mushrooms to pan and saute' for 2-3 minutes until mushrooms are browned and flavored with the meat juices. Drain meat and mushrooms onto a paper towel.
• ASSEMBLY: To each bottom bun, add the meat, then vegetables, then potatoes. To the top bun, spread with sauce and place over top. Grab lots of napkins, a fork (to catch what falls on the plate), and enjoy.
• ALTERNATIVE: Wrap sandwich in foil and eat 'to go' style.
