Cooking the onions and peppers over the campfire filled our campsite with a mouth-watering aroma that was drawing nearby campers to our site just to see what we were cooking.

    Looks great. I am home this summer due to a newly diagnosed cancer. Your post has me looking forward to small things I can do. Thanks.

    How many servings (or sandwiches) is this? I’m potentially feeding 8 so I want to make sure I get enough ingredients (especially the roast beef).

    I know you can also make this in a home oven but can’t remember what temperature and time?? I can’t find it in the article anymore, anyone have an idea???

      When I make these at home, I start with a roast in the crockpot (low for 5-6 hours). I saute the peppers and onions, then mix with the cooked beef. I scoop the meat onto buns, add the cheese, and broil to melt. Super simple, super delicious.
