- Can’t find onion rolls? You can sub in sesame seed buns.
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different cheeses for varying flavors.
Toasting the buns and ensuring the beef isn’t overly moist helps keep the sandwich crisp.
These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the Arby sauce and cheese mixture ahead of time.
Yes, try substituting roast beef with grilled portobello mushrooms or a plant-based meat alternative.
