Faye has always had a soft spot for Arby’s Beef N Cheddar sandwiches. I think they taste good, but I tend to get a stomach ache after eating them.
Tonight we decided to make them from scratch and it was awesome! No stomach ache and no overly greasy fries. Ironically, the fries were Arby’s brand frozen curly fries that we got from the grocery store.
Along the way we ran into a few snags
and tried two different Arby’s sauce recipes before merging them into one
But in the end it was cheesy amazing…
Ingredients
- 4 onion buns
- 1 lb thinly sliced, deli roast beef
- 5 slices American cheese
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- ground black pepper, to taste
For The Arby’s Sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tsp water
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the meat and place a lid over the top, and then turn the heat to medium low.
Meanwhile, stir together the Arby’s sauce ingredients and spread on the buns.
In a pot on the stove on medium-low heat, add cheese, milk, garlic powder, and pepper and stir until completely melted and evenly combined.
Place the meat on the buns, add the cheese sauce, and a little more Arby’s sauce (if desired). Top the sandwiches off with their other half.
Serve immediately, with curly fries, for an authentic in-home Arby’s experience.
