Jalapeno Popper Roast Beef Sandwich
I was craving a roast beef sandwich big time and I wanted it to be really spicy. I decided it would be a fun idea to incorporate the flavors of a jalapeno popper into the sandwich. I started with roasted jalapenos of course, then thought of using a cream cheese spread as the condiment. I stirred in some horseradish and chives which are classic players in the roast beef sandwich game, and then at the last minute I saw some leftover store bought onion straws I had used for a thanksgiving recipe and slapped them on top. It all come together in an amazing way!
Nothing like starting a recipe with roasting some jalapenos!
Cream cheese, chive, and horseradish on a ciabatta bun. I had the ciabatta in the freezer and it was part of the reason I was inspired to make this sandwich.

Pile on the roast beef!
And of course, so many onions.
It’s really sandwich perfection.
