Hot Beef Sandwiches with Sweet Potato Oven Wedges and Coleslaw

Prep:20minCook:25min

Hot beef sandwiches just sound like the world’s best comfort food, don’t they? In reality I’ve never had much success enticing anyone at my table into eating white bread soaked in gravy. The younger they are the harder it is to entice them. So I do this instead because I actually love hot beef sandwiches. Serve with a side of coleslaw and you’ve got an updated take on a diner classic.
