HOT PAT

Try this pastrami sandwich, dubbed the 'Hot Pat,' because of the healthy dose of spicy mustard in the filling and spread on the bread. It's loaded with warm mixture of pastrami, sauerkraut, and cabbage.

CHOPPED CHEESE SANDWICH

These sandwiches originated in New York City and are traditionally made on a flat top grill; however, most people do not have those so I created a cast iron skillet version.

2 tablespoons stone ground mustard
2 tablespoons ketchup
4 pickled cherry peppers, stems removed
