Just for PSPS: One take on A Diablo Sandwich (from: Smokey & the Bandit)

[justaprogressive]

“Lemme have a Diablo Sammich and a Dr. Pepper – and make it fast. I’m in a . . . hurry.” – Buford T. Justice, Sheriff (played by Jackie Gleason).

Sometimes, when Heath and I get together, we like to reminisce about our favorite old movies. Of course, Smokey and the Bandit ranks way up there. We got to thinking – what was in that Diablo sandwich that Sheriff Justice wanted so bad? Well, we decided we’d make a sandwich worthy of the name “Diablo.” For those of y’all that don’t live so close to the border, Diablo means “devil” in Spanish – any sandwich fit for a devil must be HOT.

Diablo Sandwich – Cowboy Kent Rollins

Ingredients

1 ½ to 2 lbs. shredded Brisket pork butt or chicken
2 to 3 tablespoons adobo sauce
¾ to 1 cup Red River Mud BBQ sauce or your favorite blend
4 hot link spicy sausage
6 hamburger Buns
Butter for spreading
Kent’s Sweet and Spicy Green Chili Mustard optional
Red onion for topping optional

Instructions

Preheat the smoker to 350 degrees F.

Mix the shredded meat, adobo sauce and BBQ sauce together to your desired taste and consistency.

Place the mixture into a foil pan and cover with foil. Place the meat on the indirect side of the smoker,
or grill, to warm, stirring occasionally.

Place the hot links on the indirect side of the smoker. Add a few chunks of cherry and oak woods to
the coals and smoke for about 15 to 20 minutes. Move the hot links over the direct heat for about 4
minutes, or until lightly charred. Remove and cut into round slices.

Meanwhile, butter the undersides of the buns and toast.

To assemble the sandwiches: Add a generous helping of the brisket to each bottom bun, top with
cut hot links. Spread the top bun with Kent’s Sweet and Spicy mustard and top with red onions, if using.
Serve immediately.

1. Sounds amazing

It would be a solo effort around my household, however. Many aspire to embrace teh heat, but few can stand up to the logarithmic tyranny of the Scoville scale.

2. LOL! They didn't call Jackie Gleason "The King" for nothing!

You can just barely see Burt Reynolds stifling his laughter during that scene. I've often wondered how many takes it took before the entire room of actors could get through it without breaking out in laughter!
