Grilled Beef & Cheese Sandwiches

Grilled Beef & Cheese Sandwiches:

2 tbsp butter OR olive oil

1/2 cup diced onion

1/2 cup diced or sliced Fresh mushrooms(optional)

1/2 tsp minced garlic- I used the stuff in a jar

2-3 cups leftover roast beef or steak, cut into bite size pieces

1/4-1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce

Bread of choice-I like to use rye

additional butter or margarine

shredded cheese of choice-I like to use mozza or marble

Saute the onion, mushrooms and garlic in 2 tbsp of butter or oil until onion is tender. Add beef and BBQ sauce. Simmer on low-medium until it is heated through, stirring to mix all the ingredients together nicely. Remove from heat.

Put frying pan on a burner at medium temperature. Butter the outside of 2 slices of bread. Place the buttered side down of the first piece bread, sprinkle with about 1 or 2 tbsp of shredded cheese. Put about 4-5 tbsp of beef mixture on top of cheese, spreading it to cover the entire slice of bread. You may choose to add more or less depending on your method of measuring and also on the size of your bread slice. Sprinkle another 1-2 tbsp of cheese on top of the beef mixture. It is important to have both layers of cheese to ensure that the sandwich sticks together. Add the last slice of bread with the buttered side facing up. Fry each side until golden brown. There should be enough meat filling to make at least 5-6 sandwiches.
