This Cuban Chopped Grinder Sandwich recipe is a delicious twist on the classic Cuban sandwich, with pulled pork, ham, pickles, and Swiss cheese all packed into a toasted submarine roll.

Ingredients

Scale

Submarine Rolls:

  • 4 submarine rolls, 6-10 inches each, sliced in half lengthwise most of the way through

Butter Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Cuban Sandwich Filling:

  • 1/2 pound pre-cooked pulled pork
  • 1/2 pound sliced ham
  • 3 dill pickles, sliced in half lengthwise
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard

Instructions

  1. Sandwich – Preheat oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Preheat the oven to low broil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Place rolls cut-side up onto lined sheet.
  4. Place the halved (but still attached) rolls onto the lined baking sheet, cut side up.
  5. Butter Sauce – Combine melted butter with garlic, parsley, and salt. Brush over halves of rolls.
  6. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, parsley, and salt. Brush the cut side of each of the halves of the rolls with an equal amount of the butter mixture. Toast in the preheated oven for 2-3 minutes, or until browned.
  7. Cuban Sandwich Filling – Layer pulled pork, ham, pickles, and cheese. Finely dice and add mustard.
