Chuckwagon Sandwich (Deli and Diner Styles)

The Chuckwagon Sandwich appears to exist in two different forms. One is a deli style, made from sliced meats, cheeses, and condiments in a seeded kaiser bun. The other style is more commonly found in a diner and it consists of a breaded tenderized beef steak, pan fried and served with lettuce and tomato on a larger seeded burger bun.

Ingredients

  • 2 seeded kaiser rolls For the Deli style
  • 8 slices salami
  • 8 slices turkey
  • 2 slices Bologna
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 8 oz tenderized beef (2 x 4oz beef patties) For the Diner style
  • 1 egg
  • 1 oz breading
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 2 leaves lettuce
  • 1 tomato
  • 2 burger size buns

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For the deli style: Slice the buns horizontally and spread mayonnaise on one side of the bun and mustard on the other.
  2. Lay the bologna down first to provide a solid base for the rest of the layers. I cut the round bologna into quarters and positioned the straight sides along the edges of the buns.
  3. Layer one of the cheeses next, on top of the bologna.
  4. Then another layer of meat, I layered smoked turkey.
  5. Now the final layer of cheese.
  6. Followed by the last meat, salami, to complete the sandwich. Eat cool, not cold, it will taste better.
  7. For the diner style: Arrange 3 shallow dishes and set up a 'breading station.' Flour, with salt and pepper added, goes into the first dish. Beaten egg in the next and finally the breadcrumbs in the last dish, in that order.
  8. Dip the tenderized steak into the flour and make sure it is well coated with the seasoned flour.
  9. Then dip it into the beaten egg and finally into the breadcrumbs, making sure both sides of the tenderized steak are well covered in breadcrumbs.
  10. Place a frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add the oil and allow it to heat up. Test the heat of the oil first by placing a small cube of bread into the pan. If it sizzles, the oil is hot enough. 
  11. Fry each side for about 3-5 minutes each side, until golden brown. An internal temperature of 160 degrees F. will confirm the beef is cooked and safe to eat.
  12. Cut the buns horizontally, toast them if preferred. Lay freshly washed lettuce leaves and tomato slices on the bun and then place the cooked beef cutlet on top. Complete this diner style Chuckwagon sandwich by placing the top of the bun on the meat. Eat warm.
