Taco Cabana is DISGUSTING, sir. Gross, gross, gross. Sandwiches are always good, but what KIND of a sandwich are we talking about? How about a toasted sandwich, eh? Here, I'll give you the instructions:
Ingredients:
(1) Loaf of Italian bread
(1) Container of seasoned salt
(1) Bottle of vegetable oil
Shredded Cheese (flavor of your liking, NY sharp cheddar and monterey jack are usually pretty tasty...and I recommend getting a block and grating the cheese with a feather grater)
Mozzarella (get a block of it and, again, feather grate it)
Meat of choice (ham, turkey, salami, whatever...but make sure it is THIN SLICED, DELI CUT)
Additional ingredients of your liking (black olives, lettuce, tomatoes, whatever)
(1) cookie sheet
Oven pre-heated to 250 degrees F
Alright, now here's what you do.
BEFORE YOU START MAKING THE SANDWICH:
- Grab a small dish or container. A bowl works fine if you would like, but I usually try to use a smaller dish like a sushi cup or even a shot glass.
- Pour some vegetable oil into your container. Not a shitload, just enough for a basting mix.
- Mix in your seasoned salt. You'll want it to be about 1 part seasoned salt to 3 parts oil. Basically, if you put in 2 tbsp of salt, you need 6 tbsp of oil.
This is going to be for your seasoning mix for the sandwich. Now, to make the sandwich:
- Cut your loaf of Italian bread in half or thirds, whichever way you like. Then, split the bread like a Subway sandwich would be spread...so you can put the ingredients on it.
- Take a basting brush, or even a spoon will work, and pour some of your seasoned vegetable oil onto the bread where you will be placing your ingredients. Spread it on the inside of your sandwich as best as you can on both parts of the bread.
- Add a thin layer of mozzarella to the bottom bread portion before you add your toppings on. This is going to work as both a cheese flavoring and as a way of holding the sandwich together.
- Add your meat of choice by folding a piece in half, then placing it along the bottom. Stack as high as you'd like them to be.
- Add your shredded cheese choice to the level of your liking.
- Add mozzarella cheese. You'll want to make sure that you cover all your toppings to ensure that the top stays on the sandwich while baking.
- Place sandwich on cookie sheet and put into preheated oven.
- Allow 10-15 minutes for baking/toasting/melting.
- Pull sandwich out of oven once top of sandwich is toasty and crunchy.
Voila! Tasty as hell beefy sandwich that should fill you up quite nicely.
