Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Pot Roast Sandwich Smothered in Gravy with Melted Swiss Cheese and Horseradish Mayonnaise

[heart_this] · Jan 28, 2009 · 61 Comments

Pot Roast Sandwich Smothered in Gravy with Melted Swiss Cheese and Horseradish Mayonnaise

Before I had even made the pot roast I knew that my first use for the leftovers would have to be pot roast sandwiches smothered in the tasty sauce from the braising. I think I might have been looking forward to the leftover sandwiches more than the actual pot roast itself. I could not see making this sandwich without a melted gooey cheese and I ended up going with some swiss. To melt the cheese I assembled part of the sandwich and placed it under the broiler with the cheese on top. To finish the sandwich off I was thinking about a horseradish and mayonnaise sauce. Horseradish goes well with beef and I thought that it would add a nice bite to the sandwich that would help balance out the cheese and gravy. The sandwiches turned out a little messy but they were so good!! Tender moist braised beef in a tasty gravy with gooey melted cheese is such a great combo. I also enjoyed the horseradish and mayonnaise flavour combo and it worked really well in the sandwich. I will be eating a few more of these sandwiches before the leftovers are gone.

    You should check out Dinner with Julie. She did a post for a pulled pork panini that I think could be adapted to work for pot roast very easily.

    Your sandwich looks great – don’t get me wrong – but her sandwich is really over the top!

    OMG that looks sooooo good! I can totally see making a roast JUST so you can have this for leftovers. Heck, we have a wedge of jarlsberg cheese that’s “starting to sprout” a little in the fridge. I can see making a roast JUST to have leftovers for sandwiches JUST to use that cheese!

    There are 60 “reviews”. It appears 4 have actually made the sandwich. Who cares if someone thinks a recipe “looks delicious, awesome, decadent, etc”? Please enjoy the recipes and provide comments and feedback.
    This is not the only site where readers leave useless “looks good” comments.
