The idea for this roast beef and cheddar sandwich came from a restaurant that serves theirs on garlic bread. It takes no time at all to put together. — Holly Szwej, Bridgeport, New York

These were delicious and easy to prepare on a weeknight when you don't have a lot of time. The garlic really came though to give these some flavor. Next time I might add some more seasoning.

Absolutely delicious! A Winner, Winner Sammie Night Dinner! ???? The only change I made was adding a little Montreal steak seasoning to broth. A definite keeper, and that’s saying a lot, because Hubby makes me some pretty mean Sammie’s, so it has to be really good to make the Keeper List!??

My whole family loved this recipe. It was very tasty and super easy to prepare. The only change I made was to use cheddar cheese slices in place of the shredded cheese. A slice of cheese fit the ciabatta roll perfectly. These sandwiches along with some coleslaw and you have a wonderful and quick weeknight meal.
