These easy-to-make Roast Beef And Cheese Sandwiches are juicy, cheesy, and loaded with amazing flavors from leftover roast beef! Whether making one for lunch, trying to use leftovers, or making a dozen for game day, they are a guaranteed winner!
My secret to making the best pot roast sandwich is using Crock Pot Beef Roast, Crock Pot Guinness Pot Roast, or BBQ Beef for mouthwatering, tender meat.
In This Post
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. I love making my Busy Day Pot Roast, and recently, 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, and there is no doubt that leftovers make the best roast beef sandwich.

Best Cheese For Roast Beef Sandwich
My favorite is Provolone cheese. You can also use Cheddar Cheese, Muenster, Mozzarella, Blue Cheese, and even cheese sauce.
How To Make These Yummy Sandwiches
- Slice the rolls open and butter the top and bottom buns. Toast in the oven.
- Heat the shredded leftover beef and the stock in a medium-sized pan. Cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Sauté the onions in butter until golden and soft.
- To build the sandwiches, on each roll, pile on a helping of the warm beef, top with shredded cheese, then place in the oven for 5–8 minutes until the cheese has melted.
- Add the sautéed onions on top of the melted cheese and serve.
People Often Ask…
I like to use Hoagie Rolls since they are large and 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.
All kinds of things! Try sliced tomato, lettuce, arugula, mayonnaise, spicy mustard, pepper jack cheese, hot sauce, horseradish sauce, or jardinière.
No worries! You can use deli-style roast beef. Warm it in a large skillet with beef stock, a half teaspoon of garlic powder, and a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.

I made these for Sunday night supper, and my husband declared them to be “exquisite”! I used your recipe for a slow cooker roast…used a ” chuck tender” roast and had to cook it a long time to get it to where it was tender enough to shred, but it had wonderful flavor. Next time I’ll use a cut of meat that gets tender quicker, but this made delicious sandwiches that my husband and son an I loved. Thanks for a great recipe!
Hey Vicki! I am so glad you all liked the recipe, and I really appreciate your terrific rating. Glad you are cooking with me.
