🛒 Ingredients

Sandwich Filling:

  • 4 ounces (115 g) cooked roast beef, roast turkey, or roast chicken, sliced and warmed

  • 1 to 1.5 cups (240 to 360 ml) hot mashed potatoes

  • 1 slice cheese (optional, such as cheddar, Swiss, or provolone)

Gravy:

  • 1/2 cup beef, chicken, or turkey gravy (homemade or store-bought)

  • Salt & pepper to taste

Bread:

  • 1 sandwich bun, roll, or slice of hearty bread, toasted if desired


🍽️ Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Bread

  • Lightly toast your sandwich bun, roll, or bread slices. This keeps the bread from getting soggy once gravy and mashed potatoes are added.


2️⃣ Heat the Meat

  • Warm your chosen roast meat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave.

  • Ensure it’s just warmed through—overheating can make the meat dry.


3️⃣ Assemble the Sandwich

  1. Place the warm roast meat on the bottom half of the bun or bread slice.

  2. Spoon hot mashed potatoes over the meat. Spread evenly.

  3. Optional: add a slice of cheese on top of the potatoes for an extra creamy, melty layer.


4️⃣ Add the Gravy

  • Pour hot gravy generously over the mashed potatoes and meat.

  • Top with the remaining bread half or bun.
