• 2 loaves whole grain French or Italian bread, sliced in half horizontally… or… hoagie/sub rolls (optional)
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1-2 lbs thinly sliced cooked leftover roast beef (or deli roast beef slices)
• 8 oz thinly sliced Swiss or provolone cheese
• 1 envelope onion soup mix or 2 cans beef consomme
• 2 cups water

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Spread butter evenly on top halves of bread, if desired. On bottom bread halves, layer the roast beef and top with cheese; complete the sandwich with top half of buttered French bread halves. Wrap each loaf securely in aluminium foil. Bake 25 minutes or until cheese is melted, then slice each loaf in quarters. Meanwhile, combine soup mix and water in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour the onion soup into 4 individual custard cups or small bowls and serve with sandwiches for dipping. Double and triple as needed for your family.
