Tender, juicy, flavorful roast beef – there’s just something about it. Whether braised or done in the slow cooker it’s always a hit at my house. These Roast Beef and Cheese Sandwiches are juicy, cheesy, and loaded up with amazing flavors! Whether you’re making one for lunch, trying to use up leftovers, or you’re making a dozen of these for game-day, they are a guaranteed winner!
Last week I picked up a beautiful roast from Lowes Foods with the full intention of putting it in my slow cooker. Time got away from me so, I turned to my cast iron Dutch oven. I love braising meats because with some veggies, stock, a few herbs and a little time, you are actually turning your oven into a slow cooker! As always, my roast turned out beautiful, delicious and dinner was great.
With one successful dinner done, I had enough roast beef left over for a second meal. That’s where this dish comes in. Our family loves cheese steak sandwiches which got me thinking…how about a southern roast beef version. All you need is your leftover roast, toasted rolls and cheese, then baby…you are in business. I know it’s no Geno’s Cheesesteak from Philly, but this is one great sandwich!

People Often Ask…
This is one of those questions that completely depends on personal preference, I always recommend just using your favorite rolls.
I like to use Hoagie Rolls since they are large and pretty sturdy, you can load up all the toppings into them without worrying about your sandwich falling apart. You can also use sub rolls which are a little longer, or even a bun if you would prefer that kind of sandwich.
