Roast Beef Commercial Sandwich
Ingredients:
- 1 pound roast beef, thinly sliced (pre-cooked or leftover)
- 4 slices of white bread
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (prepared from scratch or instant)
- 2 cups beef gravy (homemade or store-bought)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- If you are using leftover roast beef, gently reheat it without drying it out. You can use a low heat in a covered skillet or microwave it briefly.
- Heat the mashed potatoes until warm. If making from scratch, prepare according to your favorite recipe.
- Warm the beef gravy in a saucepan over medium heat until hot.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Place each slice of bread on a plate. If desired, you can toast the bread lightly before assembling for added texture.
- Divide the roast beef and place an equal amount on each slice of bread.
- Spoon mashed potatoes next to or on top of the beef on each plate.
- Add Gravy:
- Generously ladle hot gravy over both the roast beef and the mashed potatoes. Ensure that both are well-covered with gravy to merge all the flavors.
- Serve:
- Serve the dish immediately while it’s hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Optional Variations:
- Vegetables: Some like to add a side of cooked green beans, peas, or carrots for a more balanced meal.
- Cheese: For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hot gravy.
- Onions: Sauteed onions can be added atop the roast beef before the gravy is poured for additional flavor.
