Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) roast beef or ham (thinly shaved)
- 1 lb (454 g) cheese (provolone, swiss, mozzarella, or cheez whiz)
- 12 whole wheat dinner rolls or small sandwich buns
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 3 tbsps fresh grated onion (or 1 tbsp dried onion flakes)
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 tbsp spicy mustard
- 1 tbsp horseradish mayo or 1 tsp prepared horseradish
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preparation: Slice dinner rolls horizontally, creating top and bottom halves with precision for uniform sandwich construction.
- Dressing Creation: Whisk mayonnaise, grated onion, poppy seeds, spicy mustard, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce into a harmonious blend, adjusting seasoning to taste for a robust flavor profile.
- Sandwich Assembly: Spread prepared dressing generously across interior bun surfaces, establishing a flavor foundation for the sandwich.
- Protein and Cheese Layer: Arrange roast beef or ham evenly on bottom bun half, topping with cheese slices or spreading Cheez Whiz on top bun interior to enhance texture and taste.
- Wrapping and Baking: Individually encase each sandwich in aluminum foil, sealing tightly to preserve moisture. Position wrapped sandwiches on baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until buns crisp and cheese melts completely, delivering a warm, delectable result.
Notes
- Slice with Precision: Use a sharp knife to cut dinner rolls horizontally, ensuring clean and even halves for uniform sandwich construction.
- Customize Dressing: Adjust the mayonnaise-based sauce by tasting and adding more spicy mustard, horseradish, or Worcestershire sauce to match your flavor preference.
- Wrap Strategically: Tightly seal sandwiches in aluminum foil to lock in moisture and heat, allowing for make-ahead preparation and convenient storage.
- Bake for Perfection: Watch sandwiches carefully during the 15-20 minute baking time to achieve crispy buns and fully melted cheese without overcooking.
