This is my take on the famous pot roast sandwich from the Hobnob Corner Restaurant in Nashville, Indiana. All of the food at the Hobnob is soooooo good, and their pot roast sandwich is no exception. It is insanely good. The pot roast is tender, herby, with a hint of wine, and juicy, while the creamy horseradish sauce adds just a little bite. Topped with caramelized onions, it’s the perfect sandwich.
I used my perfect pot roast for the meat in this sandwich. It is perfect as a pot roast itself. But oh, does it ever make for fantastic sandwiches!
I actually omitted the caramelized onions the first time I made this sandwich. It was still a great sandwich. As much as I used to not love horseradish I found it to be fantastic. It goes with the roast beef perfectly.
