Ingredients
Instructions
- Fry fresh hamburger or sausage until done.
- Drain off liquid. If canned meat is used, take it out of jars and cut into chunks.
- Grind pickles and onions, then mix meat, pickles, onions, cheese, and salad dressing together.
- Spread bread slices with the salad dressing mixture.
- Place another slice of bread on top to make sandwiches.
- Beat eggs and milk together.
- Dip both sides of the sandwiches in the egg mixture and brown well in a skillet.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try substituting the hamburger or sausage with shredded chicken or a vegetarian option like black beans. If you want a creamier texture, add a dollop of cream cheese to the mix. Fresh herbs like dill or parsley can enhance the flavor of the salad dressing. You can also experiment with different types of cheese for added richness, such as pepper jack or gouda.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these sandwiches hot off the skillet with a side of crispy potato chips or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. They also pair beautifully with a side of Crock-Pot Cheese Dip for extra indulgence. For a fun twist, consider adding sliced tomatoes or avocado to each sandwich before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through and crispy on the outside. Alternatively, you can toast them in a toaster oven for a quick and crunchy snack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these sandwiches ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble the sandwiches just before cooking to keep the bread fresh and prevent sogginess. This makes for a quick meal option on busy days.
What type of bread works best for these sandwiches?
While the recipe calls for regular sliced bread, you can also use thicker bread like Texas toast or even whole grain options for added nutrition. The key is to choose a bread that can hold up to the filling without falling apart.
Can I freeze these sandwiches?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled but uncooked sandwiches. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and cook as directed. This is a great option for meal prep!
