These are my take on Arby's, roast beef & cheddar sandwiches.  I created this recipe years ago when all of my six children were still at home with us and I wanted a less expensive version of Arby's that I could make myself at home.  These are amazing!

Ingredients:

1 - bag onion hamburger buns

3 lbs. ground beef

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon dried onions (optional)

1 - 0.87 oz. envelope brown gravy mix

1 cup water

Velvetta Cheese (I use the Wal-Mart, great value brand.)

1 - 6 oz. bag French Fried Onions (also Wal-Mart brand)

Sauté ground beef over medium heat with salt and dried onions in large frying pan.  Drain grease.  Use that same frying pan to cook brown gravy mix with 1 cup water according to envelope instructions.  Add the drained, cooked, ground beef and mix. 

Open buns and broil for 1 minute.  Top each side with sliced velvetta cheese.  Do not be stingy with the cheese.  Broil another 2 minutes.  Be careful not to burn.  Add 1 scoop of beef mixture to one side of every pair of buns.  So, one scoop of meat for each sandwich. I like to use an ice cream scoop to pack the meat together.  Flatten/Shape meat to fit bun with a fork.  Top meat mixture with fried onions. Close each sandwich.  Makes 8 yummy sandwiches!
