Hot Open Faced Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Slice the roast into thin or thick slices as desired.
• Warm the slices of roast in microwave or oven.
• Heat the gravy in the microwave or on the stove top.
• Add minced, sauteed onions and seasonings to the warmed gravy, if desired.
• Lightly toast or leave untoasted the sliced bread.
• Lay two slices of the sliced bread side-by-side on each plate.
• Lay one slice of warmed meat on each slice of bread.
• Pour desired amount of warmed, seasoned gravy over both slices of bread and meat.
• Serve at once or reheat each plate in the microwave.

Steps:

• For Whitner's brisket rub: Combine salt, pepper, Whitner's BBQ Rub and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Store in an airtight container.
• For Whitner's gravy: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour to make a roux and whisk until butter and flour mixture is smooth and fragrant and begins to brown slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chili powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to the roux and continue to whisk for 1 to 2 more minutes. Turn heat up to medium-high and add the chicken stock.
• Continue to whisk until the roux is dissolved into chicken stock and the gravy begins to thicken slightly, about 5 more minutes. Strain through a sieve for best results.
• For the brisket sandwiches: Preheat a smoker for cooking at 200 degrees F.
• Liberally rub brisket with 1/2 cup brisket rub. Smoke until tender and reaches an internal temperature of 195 to 200 degrees F. Cooking time will depend on the weight of the brisket; a 10-pound or larger brisket will typically take at least 12 hours.
• Remove it from the smoker, wrap it in foil, and let it rest at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours. Slice brisket against the grain (remove excess fat from brisket if desired, leave on for a more intense flavor), place on top of white bread, and smother with hot gravy.
• Place 5 to 6 slices brisket over slices of white bread and spoon gravy on top.
• Combine paprika, salt, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, mustard, black pepper, cayenne and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Microwave the potatoes on high until soft, about 20 minutes. Using a fork, mash the potatoes in a bowl with 2 tablespoons butter. Add the milk and mash; season with salt and pepper. Preheat the broiler.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook until slightly brown. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Whisk in the Worcestershire sauce and simmer until thick, about 3 minutes.
• Toast the bread under the broiler, about 1 minute. Spread the mustard and horseradish on toasts; place each on a plate. Pour some gravy over the toast; top with the roast beef, more gravy, watercress and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the sandwiches with the potatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Stir the sauerkraut, mustard, barbeque sauce, and hot pepper sauce in a microwave safe bowl. Cook in the microwave on high until slightly bubbly and thickened, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, place the bread onto a baking sheet, and top with the roast beef and sauerkraut sauce. Place a slice of cheese over each sandwich.
• Broil in the preheated oven until the edges of the bread are slightly blackened, and the cheese is bubbly, about 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Spread mayo on the bread.
• In sequence, place on the bread the ham, cheese& tomato.
• Generously shake pepper over all.
• Place under broiler until cheese starts to melt.
