Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches with Gravy is good old-fashioned comfort food! Serve it with mashed potatoes and your favorite veggie for a comforting meal any night of the week. I am so excited to reshare this recipe with y’all! It’s been on the blog for years, but it has needed new pictures … and now the post has nice pretty pics!
When I think of comfort food, you can bet that this dish will pop into my head as one of my favorites! It was always so delightful to see this on our dinner plate growing up.
One of the things I love about this recipe is how easy it is to make. You’ll only need a handful of ingredients. Plus, you can also make this recipe with turkey, chicken, or pork! We always enjoy this with mashed potatoes and some veggie … and gravy – homemade gravy … lots of it! Homemade gravy really is the best! Don’t be intimidated by making your own! It’s really pretty easy.
INGREDIENTS
2-3 lb. chuck roast
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 can (14.5 oz.) beef broth
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
Additional salt and pepper, if desired
Bread slices
INSTRUCTIONS
Place roast in a crockpot. Sprinkle roast with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the beef broth around the roast. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours or until beef easily shreds with a fork. Remove roast from the crockpot and shred beef.
In a medium pan, add 2 cups of the broth from the crockpot into the pan. Cook over medium-high heat until hot. Stir cornstarch and water together in a small bowl or cup. Add to pan. Lower heat to medium and stir constantly with a wire whisk. Bring to a boil and boil for 1-2 minutes or until the gravy thickens. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Place a bread slice on a plate. Top with shredded beef. Place another bread slice on top. Cut sandwich in half, corner to corner, forming two triangles. Pour hot gravy over the top.
