Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef roast (chuck or brisket)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 ounces provolone cheese, shredded
  • 4 sandwich buns, preferably soft
  • 1 cup dill pickles, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

How to Make Cheesy Beef Sandwich

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season the beef roast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, ensuring it is evenly coated.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Transfer the beef to a slow cooker. Add sliced onions and Worcestershire sauce, and cover the meat completely with water or beef broth. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
  5. Once cooked, shred the beef using two forks and mix it with the cooking juices in the slow cooker.
  6. To assemble the sandwiches, place a generous portion of the shredded beef on the bottom half of each bun. Top with equal portions of cheddar and provolone cheese.
  7. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and add sliced pickles on top of the cheese. Close the sandwiches and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra flavor, marinate the beef overnight with the seasoning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the beef reaches an internal temperature of at least 190°F (88°C) for optimal tenderness.
  • Feel free to mix different types of cheese; gouda or mozzarella can add a nice twist.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the beef for shredded chicken or pulled pork for a different flavor profile.
  • Add sautéed mushrooms or jalapeños for a kick.
  • Use whole grain or gluten-free buns to accommodate dietary needs.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries for a classic pairing.
  • A fresh garden salad for a lighter side option.
  • Coleslaw for a crunchy, tangy contrast to the rich sandwich.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the beef in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, then assemble the sandwiches as instructed. Alternatively, you can reheat in the microwave, but the oven will keep the buns crispy.
