Cuban Sandwiches with Green Chile au Jus

I love a hot sandwich.  I especially love one that I can dip in au jus.  This is one of my favorites…one of the kinds where I cut an appropriate size piece for myself.  Then, when everyone is out of the room, I scarf 5 more servings.  You know what I’m talking about.
You need: Shredded pork (sometimes I just buy pre-shredded pork in the ready-meals section), 1 can Pillsbury refrigerated country Italian loaf, 1/2 tsp. ground cumin, 2 tsp. minced garlic, fresh cilantro, beef bouillon granules, ham slices, pepper jack cheese slices, 1 can beef broth, 1 4.5 oz. can chopped chiles.
So, heat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
Unroll the dough into a large rectangle. Cut in half to make two sections (about 9×7″). Sprinkle each section with 1/4 tsp. cumin and 1 tsp. garlic. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro all over. Divide the ham and cheese evenly among each. Lay it on, baby. Then sprinkle with the shredded pork.
Bring the sides up to meet in the middle and pinch to seal. Pinch the ends also. With a spatula, carefully flip each of the sandwiches over onto the cooke sheet. Cut a few seams in the top to let the steam escape. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
 Pour broth and can of green chiles in the blender with the pork juice. Add about 1/2 tsp. beef bouillon granules (to taste). Blend it up. Heat in the microwave before serving with the sandwich.

    I forgot to say that I’m thinking about trying fresh cilantro instead of cumin next time. Not sure. But, I would totally make it again.

    So, I just revised this recipe on the post…because I added cilantro and liked it even more! I also added some beef bouillon and cilantro to the au jus…loved it. I will make it this way every time now. The recipe on the post reflects my changes…
