Broiled Roast Beef Sandwiches

This is an great open-faced toasted sandwich. Some friends of our made it for us when we were first married and I'm still making it -- with some minor modifications. Tasted good then, tastes good now.

Ingredients:

6 bakery rolls (or small loaves of French bread) sliced in half

butter

3/4 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1/2 onion, chopped

28 oz crushed tomatoes

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon basil

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

sliced mozzarella cheese

Directions:

Saute onion and garlic in olive oil until onion is clear. Add crushed tomatoes and seasonings. Simmer on medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Lightly butter rolls. Broil just until golden on top. Spread marinara sauce on top of rolls. Top with roast beef and mozzarella cheese. Place back in broiler until cheese is melted.
