Step 1
Slice the bread in half lengthwise to create two flat surfaces for assembly.
Step 2
Stir together tomato sauce, minced garlic, and 1 tbsp olive oil until smooth.

Heat a skillet over medium-high. Cook polony slices 2–3 minutes per side until edges brown and crisp.
Step 4
Spread tomato-garlic sauce generously on both bread halves.
Step 5
Layer cooked beef and chicken on the bottom half, then top with fried polony.
Step 6
Fry chips in the same skillet (with remaining 1 tbsp oil) 3–4 minutes until golden and crispy, stirring often.
Step 7
Pile hot fries on top of the meat layer, then close the sandwich with the top bread half.
