  • 2 tsp water
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • pinch of salt

  •  In a pot on the stove on medium-low heat, add cheese, milk, garlic powder, and pepper and stir until completely melted and evenly combined.
    5 slices American cheese, 3 tbsp milk, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, ground black pepper, to taste
  • Place the meat on the buns, add the cheese sauce, and a little more Arby's sauce (if desired). Top the sandwiches off with their other half.
  • Serve immediately, with curly fries, for an authentic in-home Arby's experience.

Notes

  • Ask the deli to thinly slice the beef.
  • You could substitute shredded cheddar for the American cheese in the sauce if you prefer or even use Velveeta instead,
  • Don't want to make the sauce? Buy a bottle of Catalina dressing and save yourself a step!
  • For the full Arby's experience, serve these with Arby's curly fries. You can find them in bags in the frozen french fry section of most grocery stores.
