Garlic Butter Beef & Cheddar Sandwich

Instructions:

  1. Make the garlic butter:
    In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic or garlic powder. Set aside.
  2. Toast the buns:
    Split the sandwich rolls and brush both the inside and top of each half with the garlic butter. Toast in a skillet or under the broiler until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Heat the roast beef:
    In a skillet over medium heat, warm the sliced roast beef with a splash of water or broth. Stir occasionally and heat just until warmed through. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Warm the cheese sauce:
    In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, heat the cheddar cheese sauce until hot and smooth, stirring as needed.
  5. Assemble the sandwiches:
    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun if using. Layer the warm roast beef over the mayo, then spoon hot cheddar cheese sauce generously over the top. Cap with the garlic-toasted top bun.
  6. Serve:
    Serve hot with your favorite side—crinkle fries, kettle chips, coleslaw, or pickles.

Variations :

  • Add sautéed onions or mushrooms for extra depth and umami.
  • Use pepper jack or smoked gouda for a cheesy twist with more bite.
  • Add a dash of hot sauce or horseradish cream for a punch of heat.
  • Swap in ciabatta, pretzel rolls, or sourdough for a change in texture.

Tips :

  • Toast both sides of each bun half for added flavor and crunch.
  • Use foil to wrap sandwiches if making ahead to keep warm and melty.
  • For added cheesiness, sprinkle shredded cheese on the bun halves before toasting.
  • Leftover roast beef works great—just slice thinly and reheat gently to avoid drying it out.
