Calphalon Nonstick Frying Pan Set I've had this frying pan forever. You see it in the video.
3 Qt Sauce Pan This is one of mt Cuisinart pieces. It looks as good today as when I bought it.
Rimmed Sheet Pan You can always use another good sheet pan.
Calphalon Locking Tongs I love these tongs.
Method Start Cooking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet. Add the onion and peppers and sauté until soft and tender, about 5 minutes. Season with garlic, salt, and pepper, then set aside.
- Add the gravy to a skillet or saucepan and season with salt, pepper, and garlic to taste. Once the gravy is bubbly, add the pot roast slices and let them get soft and warm.
- On a large sheet pan, lay out the hoagie buns open-faced and lay the cheese slices on one side.
- Place the roast beef and the peppers and onions on the buns and leave them open-faced.
- Toast in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasty around the edges. Fold the buns together and serve.

Notes
Why the gravy matters. Leftover pot roast dries out in the fridge. Warming the slices in gravy makes them soft and tender again, just like when the roast first came out. Use leftover gravy, a fresh batch, a jar, or a packet.
Want them extra toasty? Toast the buns for a few minutes before you build the sandwiches.
Have a cheese skeptic? Just leave the cheese off a bun or two. Everything else stays the same.
Feeding a crowd? I make a double batch of eight sandwiches for my family. Use the servings slider to scale it up. Leftover sandwiches heat up well the next day too.
Put the peppers and onions on the cheese side. They stick to the melting cheese and don't fall off as easily.
