I am not much of a sandwich eater, but there is one sandwich that is my favorite and has been for a very long time, Monte Cristo. Bennigan’s Restaurant had the best Monte Cristo. This is the spot that I first enjoyed a Monte Cristo. Many Many years later this is still one of my favorite sandwiches. The Bennigan’s in Louisiana where I used to live closed before we relocated to Texas.
Last week I was craving a Monte Cristo. There isn’t a Bennigan’s here in Houston, so that meant I needed to create my own if I wanted to eat it.

The McRib sandwich from MCDonalds was a popular sandwich when I was a teenager. For those who may not remember this sandwich was a bbq rib sandwich with pickles and onions. People would go crazy for this sandwich. It could be because it was only for a Limited Time offer. The sandwich is available each year in November. Every time this sandwich is available people go crazy. I made my own version of the McRib Sandwich. My sandwich is a Twice Pork Rib Sandwich. I used pork Ribs and Bacon in my BBQ Sauce.These Ribs were baked in the oven. I slow-cooked the ribs in the oven.

Chicken Parmesan is one of my favorite Italian dishes. This is my go to when we dine at Italian Restaurants. I picked up this new sauce by Mezzetta called Truffle, Porcini & Cream which was how this new recipe idea came about for dinner. This sauce is so delicious and was the perfect choice for my Turkey Parmesan Sandwich.
I replaced the chicken with Turkey breast instead of the chicken breast. A great choice. So delicious.
In addition to this new sauce, Smoked mozzarella was superb on this sandwich.
