GRILLED TRIPLE-DECKER HOT DOG SANDWICH
Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King
Time 30m
Yield 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Heat grill to 450 degrees F.
- Grill the hot dogs until nice and charred on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Butter the cut sides of the hoagie roll halves and grill, cut side-down, until charred, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Using a skewer or the tip of a small paring knife, poke about 10 holes in the bottom of a TK pan. Spray the entire pan with nonstick cooking spray (this is an important step). Now, layer in this order: one-third each of the charred hot dogs, Cheddar, provolone and salami. Repeat the layers 2 more times, making sure to finish with a layer of salami. Make sure that every layer is a snug fit, like you would a lasagna.
- Put the pan on the grill and close the lid. Grill until the cheese has melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest for about 5 minutes. Run a paring knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the loaf. Turn the pan out onto a cutting board, unveiling the hot dog loaf. Slice the loaf crosswise into 6 pieces, just as you would a meatloaf. To build your sandwich: start with your hot dog loaf on the bottom bun, then top with mustard, lettuce, tomato and a sprinkling of celery salt. Finish with the top bun.

TRIPLE PLAY REUBEN
The Triple Play Reuben, from Maize and Blue Deli by University of Michigan, is a hefty mix of corned beef, pastrami, Swiss and Jarslberg. The Jarlsberg adds a creamy, nutty balance to the sharper Swiss. Maize and Blue uses a sourdough rye, but if you can't find it, substitute with rye or any hearty bread.

Steps:

- Lay 4 slices of the bread on the baking sheet. Spread each with 1 tablespoon of the Russian dressing and top each with 2 slices Swiss and 1 slice Jarlsburg. Add the corned beef, pastrami and sauerkraut. Spread the remaining Russian dressing on the remaining 4 slices of bread and place on top to assemble the sandwiches.

TOP-RATED REUBEN SANDWICH
The Reuben is the epitome of the great deli sandwiches... every ingredient is important as well as how it's prepared. This is how we make our own Reuben, and we've been told it's the best in the Northwest. It takes making your own ingredients in several cases, but we certainly feel it's worth the trip, as have our fans.

Steps:
- Preheat your grill to about 325 degrees F. (That's just about medium for many burners, but it also depends on if your stove is gas, electric, glass-topped, or a number of other factors -- experimenting is the surest way to find out.).
- Spread outside of each slice of rye with soft butter, about 1 Tbls per side (Scrape it thin -- too much butter makes browning more difficult and reduces crispness.).
- Place bread on grill butter side down, and put 1 slice Swiss on each side.
- Pre-heat the corned beef on a very low setting in the microwave or heat it briefly on the grill, but DON'T OVERCOOK! You want to heat, not dry out. Layer the corned beef on 1 side.
- Heat sauerkraut on grill, but do not brown. When it steams, it's ready.
- When cheese melts, remove sandwich from heat.
- Spread Louie Dressing onto side with cheese only. (This stops it from soaking into the warm bread and making it soggy.).
- Put sauerkraut onto corned beef & roughly make an even layer.
- Close sandwich, salt if you like (we do) and cut as desired. (We served it with a homemade dill pickle spear and a bit of salad.).
- Serve it hot!
SUPER DELICIOUS O'BRIEN'S SANDWICH
Our friends, the O'Brien's, shared this with us after we all raved about it. Great to have for football. This recipe calls for several layers but it's versatile enough to have as many as you want. I use more prepared horseradish than the recipe calls for because we love the "tanginess" it gives the sandwich. I also use deli meats and ask them to slice it for me. Also, the directions call for cooking the sandwich for 10 to 15 minutes but in my oven, I have to turn the temperature down to 350°F and leave in oven for about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Slice the bread horizontally into 6 layers.

- On the bread slice you just placed on top of the roast beef, spread mayonnaise on it and place Swiss cheese around. Top this with a slice of bread.
- On that slice that tops the Swiss cheese, spread with honey Dijon mustard and place ham slices around. Top with a slice of bread.
- On the bread slice that was just placed on the ham, place tomato slices around and the bacon too. Top with a slice of bread.
- On the bread slice you just put on the bacon, place American cheese and onion evenly around. Place the last piece of sliced bread on top.
- Spread top slice of bread with the softened butter and put the sandwich on a baking sheet. I actually make it on a baking sheet.
