Pot Roast Sandwiches Ingredients
- Leftover pot roast: Use your favorite pot roast recipe - my chuck roast beef is always a winner! It's my most popular recipe, and for good reason. This sandwich is amazing made with it.
- Sliced bread: You can use your favorite bread, but I recommend using a thick bread that will hold up well to dipping in au jus and the juices of the pot roast.
- Sliced cheese: I use American cheese for my pot roast sandwiches, but you can use any cheese you prefer, like Swiss.
- Caramelized onions: Try making my homemade caramelized onions to pair with this sandwich!
- Butter: I recommend using unsalted butter so you don't over-salt the sandwich.
- Grated parmesan cheese: A little bit of parmesan adds so much flavor!
How to Make a Pot Roast Sandwich
- Begin by buttering one slide of each piece of bread. Evenly sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
- Flip one piece over. Layer 2 slices of cheese on the bread. Next, layer your leftover pot roast on top of the cheese slices.
- Top with another slice of cheese, then layer with caramelized onions.
- Top with your other slice of bread, butter side up.
- Place in the air fryer at 350°F for 5 minutes on one side.
- After 5 minutes, flip and cook an additional 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve and enjoy!
You can also use a pain to cook these pot roast sandwiches: heat a skillet over medium-low heat and cook for 5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown.
