Ingredients

  • 4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise

  5. Using tongs, divide the warm roast beef evenly among the hoagie rolls.
  6. Top each sandwich with 2 slices of provolone cheese.
  7. Bake the sandwiches for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Chefs Notes

  • For extra flavor, lightly toast the hoagie rolls before adding the beef and cheese.
  • Add sautéed onions or mushrooms for a delicious twist.
  • Swiss cheese or mozzarella can be substituted for provolone if preferred.
  • If you like a stronger beef flavor, use low-sodium beef broth with a splash of Worcestershire sauce added to the au jus.
  • Serve with fries, chips, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
