Great way to use up some leftover roast beef! :) I used low fat mayo to make it a little lighter along with turkey bacon and some homemade bread. Thanks, Lainey! -
As the day drew to a close~we were wanting a dinner that was fast to eat, and use everything we had in the house. I followed this exactly~except I used some homemade farm bread I had made earlier in the day. I also used round steak, marinated, grilled, and sliced ever so thin in place of the deli roast beef but all the rest stayed the same. The only other small change was adding purple onion sliced thin to the coleslaw just because we had this around. The bacon was perfect, (I am sure you can use turkey bacon if you wanted) the fresh horseradish (which was growing outside and I grated it fresh) the cheese, yummy! Thanks once again, Lainey for an outstanding dinner for us!
