Ingredients

  • 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef (deli-style or leftover)
  • 4 sandwich rolls or hamburger buns
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • Cheddar Sauce:
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Red Ranch Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp prepared horseradish
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt cream cheese and whisk in milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Add shredded cheddar and whisk until smooth to form the cheddar sauce.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, smoked paprika, and garlic powder for the red ranch sauce. Chill until ready to use.
  3. Lightly toast the buns. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each.
  4. Warm roast beef in a skillet or microwave until heated through. Layer over the cheese slices on buns.
  5. Spoon cheddar sauce generously over the beef.
  6. Spread red ranch sauce on the top buns and close the sandwiches.
  7. Press gently, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use leftover roast beef for deeper flavor.
  • Top with onions, jalapeños, or an extra slice of cheese for variations.
  • Sauces can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
  • For a vegetarian version, use grilled mushrooms or plant-based deli slices.
  • Broil sandwiches briefly for a melty, open-faced option.
