hot open face roast beef sandwiches with taters

The main part of the recipe is in the making of a beef roast specifically for use in beef sandwiches. That’s not to say, if you have a regular beef roast that you can’t use it. You allow the beef to slowly cook in the oven, and then assemble the sandwich with a pile of yummy mash taters. The smells that fill the house are amazing. I have also served this many times without the bread... Just the yummy beef, potatoes, and gravy. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
