Pot Roast Sandwich

One is my favorite things to make with leftover pot roast is a Pot Roast Sandwich. These sandwiches are hardy and flavorful and absolutely delicious.

What you’ll need for a delicious Pot Roast Sandwich:

• Leftover Pot Roast kept in its juices.  This will keep the meat tender.
• French rolls, Kaiser rolls, buns, or sandwich bread.
• A good melting sandwich cheese that pairs will with beef.   I am using fresh mozzarella because of the stretchy factor.  You can also go with a white cheddar or sliced gruyere.
• Caramelized onions (basically onions and butter).
• A little bit of horse radish cream to add a little zing to the sandwiches.

It’s like you walked into a deli!

Steps to making the sandwiches:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Warm up your leftover pot roast in its sauce that it cooked it.  I did it on the stove top but you can easily transfer the meat and some of the juices to a microwave proof container.
• To caramelize the onions, melt the butter in a pan.  Add the sliced onions and cook on low-medium heat until the onions are cooked though and caramelized.  Still the onions occasionally.  You will be cooking the onions for about 12 minutes.  Set the onions aside.
• Place some nonstick foil on a baking sheet.  This part will save you a lot of time cleaning.  I tried multiple ways (for example, assembling and finishing the sandwiches in the pan), but it was too messy.  Tasty, very tasty, but too much work to clean up.
• Split the Kaiser rolls or French Rolls into two slices.
• Add a teaspoon of the cream style horseradish to what will be the lower layer.
• Top the lower layer of bread with a good helping of the caramelized onions.
• Next, top that with a helping of the pot roast.
• Arrange the cheese on top of the meat.  Put as much as you like.  I always love extra cheese on my sandwiches.
• Top it all off with the top slice of bread.
• Bake your sandwiches until the cheese just begins to melt and the bread gets slightly toasty.
