Instructions:
- 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef (deli-style or leftover roast)
- 4 brioche buns, toasted
- 8 slices crispy cooked bacon
- 1 cup cheddar cheese sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 tablespoons garlic ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions :
- Warm the roast beef in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or broth to keep it moist. Stir occasionally until heated through.
- Lightly butter the inside of the brioche buns if desired, and toast them cut side down on a skillet or griddle until golden brown.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of garlic ranch dressing on the bottom half of each bun.
- Layer the warm roast beef generously on top, then drizzle with cheddar cheese sauce.
- Add 2 slices of crispy bacon to each sandwich.
- Cap with the top bun and serve hot.
Variations :
- Use pepper jack or provolone instead of cheddar for a different cheese profile.
- Swap garlic ranch with spicy chipotle mayo or honey mustard for a flavor twist.
- Add sautéed onions, mushrooms, or pickled jalapeños for extra flavor and texture.
- Use ciabatta or pretzel buns if you prefer a denser bite.
Tips :
- For extra melty cheese, heat the cheese sauce just before assembling.
- Keep roast beef warm in a covered pan while prepping buns to ensure everything is served hot.
- For added richness, brush the tops of the buns with melted butter before serving.
- Make garlic ranch ahead and store in the fridge for up to a week—it’s great as a dip or salad dressing too.
