Italian Roast Sandwiches are a delicious busy day meal! Especially for game days! You’ll love these!

Italian Roast Sandwich

I cannot express enough how delicious this Italian Roast Sandwich  is.  So much so that we are practically fighting over the leftovers.  I really think it’s perfect for game day or any day really.

We had chips with it, but I think it would be well accompanied with fried mushrooms, green beans or any other typical ‘pub’ side.  We had chips with it, but next time I make it we’ll be having it with fried goodness.

It’s worth the calories.  Besides, the sandwich itself isn’t that heavy with them.  Well, whether it is or isn’t that’s what I’m telling myself.
