Poker night snacks: mini sandwiches from nate 'n al's delicatessen

Ingredients

• 1/2 loaf rye bread
• 1/3 pound thinly-sliced roast beef
• 1/3 pound thinly-sliced roasted turkey breast
• 1/3 pound thinkly-sliced black forest ham
• 1/3 pound sliced muenster cheese
• 1 pint cole slaw
• 1/2 pint Russian dressing
• Spicy mustard
• Toothpicks

Preparation

• Spread out all ingredients on cutting board or counter.
• Lay out bread for each sandwich. Spread Russian dressing on one slice and spicy mustard on the other . Add a slice of Muenster cheese to one of the slices.
• Fold a slice of ham and lay on the opposite slice of bread.
• Top the ham with a slice of roast beef.
• Top the roast beef with a slice or two of roasted turkey breast.
• Top the layer of meat with an even layer of cole slaw, spreading it to the edges of the meat.
• Top the sandwiches with the other slice of bread. The Muenster cheese acts as a barrier between the cole slaw and the bread, preventing it from getting soggy.
• Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the sandwiches into four quarters. Stick toothpicks in each quarter.
• Assemble the sandwiches on a platter or two, after all you're making 24 mini sandwiches ? and serve with small plates and cocktail napkins.
• The sandwiches can also be made ahead of time, covered with a layer of plastic wrap and refrigerated until it's time to serve.
• Serve and enjoy! These guys are popular, so make sure you get one. Or, better yet, just buy extra ingredients to make one for yourself later. Oh, and get a pint of potato salad. It's the best around.
