Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 hoagie or sub rolls
- 4 crispy chicken tenders (cooked)
- 4 beef hot dogs (grilled or pan-seared)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup honey mustard
- ¼ cup chopped pickles or pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for toasting rolls)
Instructions
- Preheat oven and toast rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for melting the cheese later. Lightly toast the hoagie rolls using butter in a skillet or directly in the oven until they are warm and slightly crisp.
- Assemble sandwiches: Slice each roll open horizontally without cutting all the way through to create a pocket. Place one cooked crispy chicken tender and one grilled or pan-seared hot dog inside each roll.
- Add toppings: Drizzle each sandwich with honey mustard, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the meat, and top with chopped pickles or pickle relish for a tangy crunch.
- Melt cheese in oven: Arrange the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheddar cheese has melted and become bubbly.
- Serve warm: Remove the sandwiches from the oven and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can use grilled or fried chicken tenders depending on your preference for texture and flavor.
- Try swapping out honey mustard for spicy mustard or BBQ sauce to add a new twist.
- These sandwiches are especially popular for game day, tailgating events, or a fun family dinner option.
