The Scoop
Roast beef, rich gravy, creamy mashed potatoes, and bread walk into a dinner plate and absolutely commit to comfort food.
This old-school favorite turns leftover roast beef into a hearty open-faced sandwich layered with tender onions, savory brown gravy, and buttery mash. Simple, nostalgic, and unapologetically cozy.
Ingredients
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 2 cups roast beef, leftover and shredded
- 1 (12-ounce) jar brown gravy
- 2 medium potatoes, cut up
- milk or half-and-half, to taste
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 2-4 slices white bread
Directions
- In a large skillet, over low heat, sauté the onions in 1 tablespoon of the butter until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Stir the cooked beef into the onions and cover, letting it simmer, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the gravy to the meat mixture and mix thoroughly.
- While the meat mixture is cooking, boil the potatoes, covered, in salted water, about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the water from the potatoes.
- Mash the potatoes.
- Stir the remaining butter and the milk into the potatoes, ensuring it is well blended and no lumps remain.
- Season the mashed potatoes to taste with the salt and the pepper.
- To plate, place 1 slice of the bread. Spoon the meat mixture over the bread and cover with the second slice. Add a spoonful of the mashed potatoes on top of the second piece of bread. Cover with more of the meat mixture, to taste.
- Serve.
