French Dip Roast Beef Sandwiches

Sometimes we really love to have sandwiches for dinner, but we get tired of the same ham and cheese or turkey and cheese combos. This is a really delicious recipe and it was very easy to make. I took it a step further by making them into paninis, but they would still taste great as is.
