Reuben Po' Boys

When you take a classic Reuben and give it a New Orleans makeover this is what you get. Po' boys typically feature roast beef or seafood on a baguette, but this version swaps in corned beef and Swiss cheese and adds a vinegar-based slaw. Russian dressing gets replaced with a Southern favorite—"comeback sauce." You'll be in fall as soon as you try it.

When you think hot sandwich, you probably think cheesesteak. The secret to tender meat is in the marinade and this version is made with Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Two types of cheese, plenty of sautéed veggies, and spicy mayo on top and you've got yourself the perfect lunch (or dinner, really).

Save this recipe for those times when you deserve a break from calorie-conscious eating and need to feast on something hearty after a tough week at work. The traditional French sandwich puts cheese on the inside and outside of the bread before baking, and you can't go wrong with ham and a creamy sauce made with Dijon mustard and nutmeg that's oozing its way out.
