Hello there, everyone! I hope you have been enjoying a nice Winter Break with those you love. Today (before we discuss the Roast Beast) I am pleased to announce the winners of the amazing book “Wonder”.

I will be contacting you shortly to get your mailing addresses.

Now, let me tell you about the beauty, ease and deliciousness of this wonderful 30 minute meal. Soft french bread is topped with a creamy bbq sauce, layered with roast beef, sautéed garlic, peppers and onions and finally provolone cheese. The whole thing gets popped into the oven where the cheese gets all melted and bubbly…man, it’s good. It would make a fabulous easy dinner, a wonderful game day snack and is great for feeding a crowd. Thanks goes to my amazing sister-in-law Mary, for the recipe idea…and for feeding masses of people throughout our winter vacation together. 🙂 Love ya.

Oh, gosh, that does look nice. There’s just something about long sandwiches like this where you assemble one big one and cut it up instead of making a whole bunch of little sandwiches. It’s like you’re getting away with something. Love it. Thanks for the recipe.

My son in law wants this for his Super Bowl party, I am going to break out of my blues and make it as a special treat for his party. I can’t show him something that looks that good and not make it. It’s nice to give back??

Made these yesterday as part of our Superbowl feast. They were very tasty! I used individual rolls and regular sized bell peppers in small strips. Yum!
