Homemade Roast Beef Sandwich Spread: Easy Leftover Ideas

Roast Beef Sandwich Spread is a simple way to turn leftover roast beef into something completely different, but equally delicious.

Just three simple ingredients and two minutes in the food processor, can it be any easier?

Sliced leftover roast beef makes wonderful sandwiches the next day, especially a nice French Dip. YUM!

But, my son wanted something "different" in his lunch. So, I threw together this easy spread and made a simple sandwich for him on sourdough bread. It is delightful on sandwiches and makes a tasty appetizer too.

Roast Beef Sandwich Spread Variations

The store bought version contains ingredients like: MSG, sugar, yeast extract, onion powder and turmeric.

You can add your favorite spice blends in place of or in addition to the horseradish to vary the final product. A few ideas:

• cajun seasoning
• bbq rub
• garlic herb blend
• Dijon mustard
• rosemary
• tarragon
• sage
