Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds thinly sliced deli roast beef
  • 6-8 onion hamburger buns or kaiser rolls
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup beef broth

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour for about one minute to create a roux.
  2. Step 2: Gradually pour in milk while whisking constantly until thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  3. Step 3: Slowly add shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted. Mix in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and paprika.
  4. Step 4: Warm beef broth in a separate pan and add roast beef, heating through for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Lightly toast buns, buttering them first for extra flavor.
  6. Step 6: Assemble sandwiches with warm roast beef and cheddar sauce on the bottom bun, then top with the other half.

Notes

Use quality deli roast beef for the best texture. Keep cheddar sauce warm during assembly. Serve immediately for the best experience.
