NY Triple Decker Sandwich

Hello my Hy-Vee friends!

I just got back from Phoenix, Arizona and to put it in cooking terms, it was like jumping from a frying pan into the fire! Despite the Hades like heat, my kids and I had a wonderful time visiting my folks, relaxing in an icy pool, and of course eating lots of delicious food. I enjoyed Huevos Rancheros for breakfast, amazing local BBQ for lunch, and quail stuffed with chorizo for dinner. But the most memorable time was the two meals that we spent at the local Jewish deli. Huge bowls of beautiful chicken soup, amazing platters of smoked salmon, pristine bagels, and piles of potato pancakes were just a few of the items available.

But my favorite was the obscenely huge and insanely delicious triple decker sandwich.  Soft rye bread, 3 meats, earthy Swiss cheese, the sweetness from the dressing, and the crunch of the coleslaw come together in one amazing experience. The beauty of it is that you can make one at home using the ingredients that we have at our Hy-Vee. One bite and it will bring you back to New York, via Phoenix. J

NY Triple Decker Sandwich:

Serves 1-4.

3 slices of Hy-Vee Artisan New York Salt Rye bread

½ pound DiLusso Roasted Turkey, sliced

¼ pound DiLusso Corned Beef, thinly sliced

¼ pound Dilusso Pastrami, thinly sliced

4 slices DiLusso Swiss cheese

½ cup creamy coleslaw

4 tablespoons Hy-Vee Thousand Island dressing

Spread the dressing equally over the three slices of bread. Place the turkey on one of the slices and top with two slices of the Swiss cheese. Place another slice of bread on top and place the corned beef, pastrami, and the remaining cheese. Top with the coleslaw and place the last piece of bread.

Praise the Lard!
