Do you ever find yourself craving a delicious, hearty sandwich but are tired of the same old fillings? Look no further than Roast Beef Sandwich Spread.
While you could just buy a tiny little can at the store, this recipe shows you how to turn leftover roast beef into something completely different, but equally delicious.
And with three simple ingredients and about two minutes in the food processor, can it be any easier?
Why settle for a boring sandwich when you can elevate it with this delectable and easy-to-make spread?
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 in the little can contains ingredients like: MSG, sugar, yeast extract, onion powder and turmeric.
The recipe below uses nothing but mayo, horseradish, salt and pepper.
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
