Almost addictive. Easy, quick, and you will like it.

1 pound roast beef sliced. Tender, juicy, roast beef is perfect for this recipe. Use either deli meat, chuck roast, or prime rib for the best type of beef sandwich. Even left over steak thinly slice is good.
21 ounces condensed beef consommé or beef broth beef broth
1 package Lipton onion soup mix
4 each french rolls
8 slices provolone cheese or Swiss cheese
4 tablespoons cream cheese

In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the beef consomme' and onion soup mix to a boil.
Add the sliced roast beef to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes.
While beef is simmering in the sauce prepare French rolls by spreading 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on the bottom bun of each roll. Place 2 slices of cheese on each top bun.
Place rolls (tops and bottoms) face-up on a baking sheet. Broil on high for about two minutes or until the Provolone cheese has melted. Remove from broiler.
Using tongs, pull the sliced roast beef from the au jus and place it on the bottom buns with cream cheese. Top with the top buns.
Use a ladle to scoop the au jus evenly into four dipping cups or small bowls. Serve the sandwiches with the side of au jus.
