"I've made this 3 times since the recipe appeared in June '08 issue. Everyone has raved over it and requested the recipe. I followed the recipe exactly. It makes a huge batch. It is well worth the minimal effort involved to make it from scratch rather than buying from a store. Even my monthly luncheon group gave it straight 3's, the highest rating we give. We keep a batch in the refrigerator at work for those afternoons when we need a snack. We eat it on Ritz crackers."

"I've made this for three different occasions and it disappears every time. The last time I followed the make ahead steps, I was really worried when I put it in the oven, it looked soft and there was so much moisture, but it came through perfectly."

"An easy recipe when preparing for guests. Prepare it in the morning and you're done! I've made this recipe twice now and it was a hit both times. I used the boneless pork loin, as they were on sale, and the sandwiches couldn't have been better. The first time I served the pork sandwiches with coleslaw and the second time my guests provided potluck salads and desserts. Very easy entertaining!"

"I've made this sandwich twice, and it is a huge hit in my house. but why eat it cold? I wrap it in foil and bake it on 350 degrees until the cheese melts. It's better than any deli sandwich."

"This recipe is simple to make ahead of time. What a great spread to have on hand for a sandwich bar! I didn't have horseradish sauce so I mixed straight horseradish with mayo - about 1/2 and 1/2 of each. Turned out delicious - not too hot but a hint of it. Yummy! Got lots of compliments too....."

"These were delicious! The only change I made was not shredding the cheese or chopping the turkey. I think it kept it from falling apart while moving them to be pressed. "

Down-South Banh Mi  

Here's a Southern spin on a classic Vietnamese-French sub. Slow-cooker Mustard Barbecued Pork serves as the meaty base, and peppers, veggies, and hot chili sauce give it its Vietnamese flavor.
