This delicious DIY version of one of Arby’s favorites will have you ditching the line and saving money.
I’ve spent twenty minutes in the Arby’s drive thru line on more than one occasion. Even better, I pulled up to the place that has the meats only to be told they’re out of roast beef!! That’s like….their thing!!! So, I left and learned to fend for myself. The result was saved time and money! You’d spend over thirty dollars on this amount of “real deal” Beef ‘n’ Cheddar sandwiches compared to what you can make at home for less than twenty dollars.
Ingredients Needed for Beef & Cheddar Sandwich
- Onion Buns
- Roast Beef
- Easy Cheese Cheddar
- Arby’s Sauce (optional)
How to Make the Beef & Cheddar Sandwich
Warm the roast beef. Wrap and seal the roast beef in foil and place in the oven to warm.
Toast the buns. Melt butter in a cast iron skillet and toast the buns, face down.
Add the Beef & Cheddar. Place the warm roast beef on the toasted bun and top with Easy Cheese Cheddar.
Sauce and Top. Add Arby’s sauce (optional) and firmly press the top of the bun down onto the sandwich. Enjoy!!
Tips for the Best Beef & Cheddar Sandwich
Use quality roast beef. Don’t skimp on the quality of meat here. I picked up Boar’s Head London Broil from a local catering company. I always recommend supporting local business when you can, but this can often be found at larger stores (like Kroger), as well.
Toast the Buns. A good bun can make or break a sandwich. Now, you have to have Onion Buns for this recipe but toasting it definitely takes the flavor and texture up a notch by giving it a buttery crisp sear. Even if you plan to heat them up later, this step matters.
By the way, I’ve made these in bulk for road trips before and will definitely do it for trips to come.
