Recreate the iconic Arby’s Beef and Cheddar sandwich with tender roast beef, tangy cheddar cheese sauce, and soft sandwich buns for a delicious homemade fast-food favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz thinly sliced roast beef
  • 4 sandwich buns (preferably sesame seed buns)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pickles for serving

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and beef broth.
  2. Stir continuously until the cheese sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Warm the roast beef slices in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  4. Butter the buns lightly and toast them in a separate skillet until golden brown.
  5. To assemble, spread a generous amount of cheddar cheese sauce on the bottom buns.
  6. Layer the warmed roast beef evenly over the sauce.
  7. Add more cheese sauce on top of the beef if desired.
  8. Close the sandwiches with the top buns and serve immediately. Optionally, add pickles for extra flavor.

Notes

For an extra crispy texture, try grilling the assembled sandwich in a panini press until the cheese sauce bubbles.
