What’s The Ultimate?

Hey, a Pork Chop Sandwich can be as easy as a pork chop between two slices of bread. It gets better incrementally as you add mustard, cheese, pickle, dressing of some kind, maybe cole slaw, or, in the case of Roscoe’s Ultimate: red cabbage and kielbasa.

That’s Right: Kielbasa

There are those that might quibble about a Pork Chop Sandwich with kielbasa not really being a pork chop sandwich at all. And those quibblers might have a case. To that we say…

We’re Cookin’ With Roscoe here, and if you’ve been around any amount of time, you know that Roscoe believes in kielbasa, so get over it. And those of you that have been around even a little while also know that Roscoe is usually right (despite the hysterical claims of various ex-wives). Like Roscoe’s Trilogy (olive oil, Worcestershire and Cholula), kielbasa always makes things taste better (witness Roscoe’s turkey/kielbasa chili, or the world renowned Kielbasa Reuben, hard to beat either of those).

So Don’t Settle, Go For The Ultimate

Here’s How You Do It

You grilled up some pork chops over the weekend and have a couple left over. Better if they’re thin cut, but it doesn’t really matter, regular cut works fine (Roscoe’s Note: there is no such thing as a pork chop that doesn’t work). Separate the meat from the bone, pop the meat in the microwave for maybe 30 seconds, just to warm (while the chops are warming, gnaw off any meat left on those pork chop bones).

Slice Kielbasa Thin

Warm it in the microwave the same as the chops. Also warm the red cabbage (see Roscoe’s Red Cabbage for recipe). Slice your roll and scoop out some excess bread from the middle.

Assemble

On bottom slice of bread, slather your favorite mustard. Lay on the pork chop chunks, then cover with cheese, Swiss or Provolone seems to work best here. Top the cheese with the thinly sliced kielbasa (if you want, you can add a different cheese to the top of the kielbasa).

Into The Oven, Open Faced

Let the cheese melt and both pieces of roll or bread get lightly toasted. Don’t go too far away, this won’t take long (about the time it takes to get a beer from the fridge and finish about half of it).

Make A Decision Here

You’ve pulled out the warm sandwich, and it looks pretty good already. If you’re a mustard lover add a different favorite mustard on top of the kielbasa (or cheese), then top this with some pickle, then the red cabbage. If you don’t have red cabbage, feel free to use cole slaw.

Put The Sandwich Together

It’s a thing of beauty, try not to inhale it. You’ll probably need another beer to wash it down, and maybe a few more napkins than you thought.

This Ain’t No Quizno’s

Or Subway, or Jimmy John, not that there’s anything wrong with any of those places. But who needs ‘em, when you’re…
