Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 6 mins Cook Time: 4 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 5
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 (1 ounce) packet au jus mix
• 1 2/3 cups water
• 1/2 cup prepared alfredo sauce

• 1 dash onion salt or 1 dash garlic salt
• 1 loaf bakery french bread
• 3/4 lb thin-sliced deli roast beef
• 1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded italian cheese blend

Recipe

• 1 prepare the au jus dipping sauce: melt butter in saucepan; saute onions until tender; add flour and stir; add contents of gravy mix packet then gradually whisk in water; allow to simmer while you make the sandwich.
• 2 prepare the "secret" sauce: stir together alfredo sauce, mayonnaise, and your choice of onion salt or garlic salt; slice french bread with one horizontal slice to make a top and a bottom half; spread "secret" sauce evenly over both pieces of sliced bread.
• 3 place the prepared sandwich halves (open-faced) upon a baking sheet under the oven broiler for about 1 minute until the sauce is bubbly and the edges of the bread barely start to brown; remove from oven.
• 4 arrange thin sliced roast beef over both sandwich halves then sprinkle evenly with shredded cheeses; broil for another minute (still open-faced) until cheese is bubbly all over and starting to brown; remove from oven.
• 5 put sandwich halves together and return to oven to lightly toast (very, very briefly only) top and bottom of sandwich; remove from oven and slice sandwich into 5 even servings; provide 1/3 cup au jus with each serving.
• 6 note: i usually make this sandwich using one large loaf of bakery french bread ~ you could go with smaller baguette buns if you want yours to taste and look like the quiznos steakhouse dip sandwich.
