One look at this impressive sandwich and your family and friends will know their taste buds are in for a treat. I have served it many times for casual lunches and suppers. The tall layers prompt people to ask how they're supposed to eat it. I encourage them to simply dig in and enjoy! -Margaret Yost, Tipp City, Ohio

I first made this recipe in 1996 when it appeared in the magazine and my family loved it. I just made it again last week and the entire thing was gone in one evening...and there were just three of us. It's perfect for a picnic or football Sunday.

I've been making this recipe ever since it was published many years ago. I think I've tried it on just about every type of bread you can imagine and just today I made it on the "WINNER" of all breads. Bought a loaf of MARKETSIDE Italian Loaf ( bought at WalMart Bakery). Its a soft bread when you buy it, but when it bakes its nice and crispy but not dry like a sour dough loaf. My family also agreed that this by far was the easiest way to eat it. The round loaf is so big and messy to eat.

I first made this giant sandwich in 1996 when the recipe was first published in Taste of Home and have made it many, many times since. It is one of my kids' favorite recipes of all time. In fact, my daughter turns 23 tomorrow and she requested this giant sandwich for her birthday dinner. The recipe is easy and oh-so-good!

My mother has made this for several years now, and it is always a BIG hit. Horseradish gives it a great flavor.

Fabulous! I use leftover roast beef from French Dip found at http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/French-Dip. I also am not a fan of horseradish so I left it out.
