Delicious and Easy Roast Beef Panini

This roast beef panini is relatively easy to make and ooh so great tasting. It will out do just a plain old beef sandwich any day. The horseradish and the green chiles make it spicy and tangy. This sandwich has a real kick to it.

Sandwiches can be just a bit boring. So when we can take an ordinary sandwich and make it extraordinary, why not?

I have been messing around in the kitchen since I was a young girl. I used to make these sandwiches with all kinds of meat and condiments long before the panini grill came about. I would make them like a grill cheese. Grill one side and then flip it over and grill the other side. My grilled sandwiches came out just as good. Which is to say, you don’t really have to have a panini grill to make a great panini sandwich. Just have, maybe, a little imagination.

Notes

Tip: You can exchange the roasted green chiles for a tablespoon of chopped fresh basil on each sandwich. Its just as spicy in a different way. Before piling it on you sandwich, sample it. Some fresh basil can be really hot, so be careful.

This panini recipe goes great with a boneless chicken breast.
