Hot Roast Beef Sandwich

When I was a child...There was a Woolworth's on 69th and Market streets, They had a lunch counter that served all kinds of comfort food as they would call it today..One of my fondest memories was Saturday afternoon, When my mother and two of her sisters would take me and five of my cousins to 69th street to go shopping..

Like all kids...we begged for toys....Sometimes we got some and sometimes we didn't....but what we always did get was a nice lunch....My favorite in particular was their Hot Roast Beef Sandwich....Usually served with french fries....sometimes served with onion rings...

After childhood...I never did quite find a Hot Roast Beef sandwich that compared with that one at that Woolworth's, but here is a recipe for making one...

• 1 (3 -4 lb) beef roast
• 3 -4 cups water
• 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
• salt

• FOR GRAVY

• 4 -5 cups broth (from roast)
