Rueben Cuban

I think you all should know something about me, I love sandwiches. They might be my favorite food and what I would choose if I could only eat one thing the rest of my life. You can create any kind of sandwich (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). I personally don't like Rueben's because I HATE sauerkraut, so when my family decided to make these I was a little hesitant (but cubans are one of my favorites).
So here you go: a Rueben Cuban

Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
3 Tablespoons dijon mustard
3 Tablespoons chopped dill pickle
8 sliced rye bread (about 4 in wide) with caraway seeds
1 1/4 lbs ground pork
salt and pepper to taste
8 oz. thin sliced canadian bacon
6 oz imported swiss cheese shredded 

Directions:
1. Preheat a grill to medium.
2. In a small bowl mix together mayo, mustard, and pickle.
3. Spread the mustard mixture on all of the bread slices.
4. Shape the pork into four 4-in patties, making them slightly oval to fit the bread season with salt and pepper. 
5. Grill uncovered pork at least 5-6 min on one side.
6. Flip, top with half of the cheese, cook for 5-6 min longer.
7. Meanwhile, grill the canadian bacon until lightly charred, 1-2 min on each side.
8.Transfer the patties to 4 bread slices and top with the canadian bacon and remaining cheese.
9. Cover with the remaining bread slices, mustard side down.
10. Lightly oil the grill.
11. Transfer the sandwiches to the grill, cover, and cook until the bottom of the bread slices are toasted, about 3 minutes.
12. Flip and toast the other side.
