Description

Arby’s beef & cheddar sandwiches bring classic fast-food comfort straight to home kitchens with savory roast beef and melted cheddar cheese. Hearty meat piled high on warm onion rolls creates a nostalgic meal you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale

Meat:

  • 1 pound (1 lb) thinly sliced roast beef

Bread:

  • 8 slider buns or onion rolls

Condiments and Cheese:

  • 1 packet French’s Classic Yellow Mustard
  • 1 packet Arby’s Sauce
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese sauce
  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) butter or oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the meat by gently warming thin slices of roast beef in a skillet with a touch of butter or oil, ensuring the meat remains tender and doesn’t dry out.
  2. Simultaneously, lightly toast the slider buns or onion rolls to create a crisp foundation for the sandwich.
  3. Carefully heat the cheddar cheese sauce in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally to maintain a smooth, creamy consistency.
  4. Apply a delicate layer of yellow mustard across the bottom half of each toasted bun, creating a tangy base.
  5. Layer the warmed roast beef generously atop the mustard-coated bun, ensuring even coverage.
  6. Cascade the warm, velvety cheddar cheese sauce over the beef, allowing it to slightly drip down the sides.
  7. Crown the sandwich with the top half of the toasted bun, pressing gently to meld the flavors.
  8. Serve the sandwiches immediately, optionally accompanying them with Arby’s Sauce for an extra flavor dimension and dipping experience.

Notes

  • Keep roast beef slightly pink and moist by warming it quickly over medium heat, avoiding prolonged cooking that can make it tough and dry.
  • Lightly toast buns to create a crispy texture that prevents sogginess and provides a sturdy base for sandwich layers.
  • Stir cheese sauce frequently while heating to maintain a smooth, creamy texture without scorching or separating.
  • Use yellow mustard sparingly to add tangy flavor without overwhelming the beef and cheese’s rich taste.
