This is one of those recipes that I almost didn’t share because it is so easy. In fact it is not really a recipe. It is more of a this is how I make it recipe.
I have found though that some of my most popular recipes are the super simple, this is just a basic idea, type of recipes. You like to keep it just as quick and easy as I do.
Easy Roast Beef Sandwiches for dinner!
When I serve sandwiches for dinner, which I do often during the crazy hot days of summer, I have to serve them a little on the fancy side. And by fancy, I mean that they need to be a little different than you normal meat, cheese, mustard, mayo sandwich.
This easy roast beef sandwich is an example of how I make a basic sandwich and serve it in a way that my family doesn’t feel like they are having an everyday boring sandwich for dinner.
For this I basically take a nice sliced roast beef. I have been loving the roast beef at Costco, but any nice roast beef will work. I serve it with cheese. I also quickly cook up some onions and peppers to serve on it. The cooked onions and peppers are what take this to the next level, but without much work. So easy and so good!
The regular eaters in our family ate it on regular bread. The gluten free eaters ate it on a gluten free bun. So it is one of those meals that is easier to serve both regular and gluten free!

I heat my sliced roast beef in au jus…also like to have some horseradish sauce for it.

My family is not a huge fan of horseradish. Well my husband is, but not the rest of us. He would love this with horseradish! The roast beef heated in au jus would be really good!

even a light gravy and eaten open face is a nice option. a little “old school.” I remember eating roast beef and gravy or turkey and gravy over bread or toast as a kid.
my husband and I are the only ones who eat horseradish.

Lynn
