Print Recipe

A homemade copycat version of the iconic Arby’s Beef & Cheddar sandwich featuring tender roast beef, creamy melted cheddar cheese sauce, and soft toasted buns. This recipe is quick, easy, customizable, and perfect for a satisfying meal any day of the week.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Thinly Sliced Roast Beef (amount as desired for sandwiches)
  • Sharp Cheddar Cheese (for melting, about 1 cup shredded)
  • Cheddar Cheese Sauce Mix or homemade cheese sauce (see instructions)
  • Soft Sandwich Buns (e.g., brioche or hamburger buns, 4 buns)
  • Dijon Mustard (optional, 1-2 teaspoons per sandwich)
  • Butter or Oil (for toasting buns, about 2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheddar Cheese Sauce: Mix the cheddar cheese sauce mix with warm milk following package instructions or create your own sauce by melting sharp cheddar cheese with butter and a small amount of flour to thicken. This cheesy sauce provides the signature creamy texture.
  2. Warm the Roast Beef: Gently heat thinly sliced roast beef in a skillet or microwave until warm but not dried out, ensuring tender and juicy bites.
  3. Toast the Sandwich Buns: Lightly butter each bun and toast them in a pan or under a broiler until golden and slightly crisp. This prevents sogginess and adds texture.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of cheddar cheese sauce on the bottom bun, pile on warm roast beef, add more cheese sauce if desired, then finish with the toasted top bun.
  5. Add Optional Extras: If using condiments like Dijon mustard or pickles, add them now to enhance flavor.

Notes

  • Use quality deli-style thinly sliced roast beef from a trusted butcher or supermarket for the best flavor and texture.
  • Avoid overheating the beef to maintain tenderness.
  • Homemade cheese sauce offers fresher flavor and can be adjusted for sharpness.
  • Toast buns until golden and crisp but not burnt for ideal texture.
  • Be generous with the cheddar cheese sauce as it is the sandwich’s flavorful centerpiece.
