Cheesy Hot Beef Sandwich

A Cheesy Hot Beef Sandwich is a delicious comfort food option made with thinly sliced roast beef, a rich and flavorful gravy, and melted cheese. Here’s a simple recipe to make one:

Ingredients:

For the Hot Beef and Gravy:

• 1 pound thinly sliced roast beef
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste

For Assembling the Sandwich:

• 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls
• 4 slices of your favorite cheese (such as provolone or Swiss)
• Butter for toasting (optional)
• Sliced pickles (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic. Stir continuously to create a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns lightly golden.
3. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until it thickens into a gravy, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the thinly sliced roast beef to the gravy, and gently simmer for 3-5 minutes until the beef is heated through.
5. While the beef is heating, you can prepare your rolls. You can lightly butter and toast them in a skillet or oven if you prefer a slightly crispy texture.
6. Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each roll.
7. Use a slotted spoon to scoop the hot beef and gravy mixture onto the rolls on top of the cheese.
8. Top with the other half of the rolls.
9. If desired, serve your Cheesy Hot Beef Sandwiches with sliced pickles on the side.
10. Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious and cheesy hot beef sandwiches!

These sandwiches are a hearty and satisfying meal, perfect for lunch or dinner. You can customize them with your favorite type of cheese and any additional toppings you like, such as sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers.
