I have a thing for sandwiches. I love them! How can you not? The possibilities when it comes to sandwiches are endless. You can put just about anything between two slices of bread and it works. One of my all time favorites is a Cuban sandwich. My mother would take me since I was a wee child to get a media noche and to me they taste like a heavenly dream. I could eat them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
I have to admit that I have never attempted to make a Cuban sandwich at home, but after watching this video for a slow cooked Crock-Pot Cuban sandwich, I'm feeling up to the task.
