🛒 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
-
Place the warm roast meat on the bottom half of the bun or bread slice.
-
Spoon hot mashed potatoes over the meat. Spread evenly.
-
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.
