Having been a shift manager, they use "red ranch" (similar to French dressing) on the bottom and heated canned cheese sauce served through a pump on the top. In my opinion they each individually are not good, but together on the sandwich they make it taste great. The "roast" is ten or five pounds (don't precisely remember, it was 20 years ago) it is normally cooked for around 4 hours. The normal roast is actually composed of binder and stew meat size chunks of beef, that's why if you look at the slices of roast beef on the sandwich they don't have grain showing all the way through, but no fat layer like on real roast. The regular beef n cheddar come with 3 Oz of meat. The standard for how thin the meat is sliced is you should be able to read the writing on the wrapping through the slice. The slicer uses a gold plated blade to slice the meat that thin and still leave it a slice and not shredded crumbs. It should be 4 slices per 1 once translating into 12 slices on one sandwich if sliced on a properly calibrated slicer, that said most often they don't stay that calibrated for long and the norm slags down to 3 slices per once or 9 slices per sandwich. But either way 3 onces is the standard portion to be weighted out on the scale. The onion bun is toasted. I worked there 5 years and initially the bun was buttered with a butter wheel turning in melted butter, but the new quicker toast we got didn't use the butter wheel to toast.
There was one located on the way home from work, (long since closed), and I'd say I'd been there 4-5 times as a craving need to eat my feelings thing. Always ordered the medium bnc with double extra cheese.. curly fries, of course, and I must say I enjoyed their horsey sauce as well. It tastes a LOT better than it looks and who can resist an onion bun? 🤷♀️No shame at all
The fact they were oblivious to the "red ranch" kind of drove me nuts watching this. Arby's sauce is completely different. I worked at Arby's in high school and you're spot on with everything you said here.
In Michigan, it's also known as "Catalina" dressing. At my local Arby's, I would order a regular Beef n Cheddar. I'd ask them to substitute the bun with an onion bun, then add Catilina dressing, then add cheddar sauce. They would charge me 25 cents for the cheese and not even realize they just made me a beef n cheedar for about $1.50 less.
Had to pause the video at the 2 minute mark and come check to see if anyone else caught that. Arby's Sauce is SO different from Red Ranch! And yeah, the cheese is pumped out of a can, not melted slices.
I remember when Arby's first opened in my hometown, many years ago, you actually did get about one and half times more meat than what you get now. They weren't all flattened out and were tasty sandwiches. Then, when they introduced Beef N' Cheddar they were still like that, lots of meat, not flat but over the years....well, like so many fast food joints, it ain't what it used to be. Keep in mind this was 1964 I was 10 and pretty much all fast food was better then, yes, I'm old lol.
His probably wasn't flattened out either unless it was from one of the few horribly run arby's left. They no longer have the big montana on the menu, but a half pounder is on as its replacement.
Sam yours definitely looks 1000% better but I have never gotten a sandwich from Arby's that looked as bad as the one you got. I remember when I was a kid (I'm 56 now) we'd go into Arby's and there was a huge piece of mid rare beef on the counter and they would slice the meat off right in front of you, ahhh the good old days. Keep up the great work 👍
@@danknasty5220 IDK how much more I could agree. I wipe off that red vomit tasting sauce and load it up with regular Arby's packet sauce. Maybe a sploosh of horsey
I made this last night and it was ah-mazing! I cooked the roast in my instant pot because I didn't have time to cook it any other way. Who needs Arby's when you have Sam the Cooking Guy! Thanks for another awesome recipe!! The whole family devoured it!
Getting the color of red that the roast beef is advertised as is extremely hard to do. If we get that color red, customers typically say the beef “isn’t cooked” so we are basically forced to cook it well done
That and in some areas, in the United States at least, the County Health codes for fast food resturants (which arby's is) forces them to be well done from the Temperature requirements. (edited for grammar)
Yeah. You would only be able to get that in the center. When I worked at Arby's in the late 90s, the roasts, if you could call them that (looked like a giant hamburger patty when raw) we cut them in half and put one half on the slicer and the other half wrapped in foil in a warmer. The half that stayed in the warmer would always lose all pink.
@@dlee4262 That's nowhere near raw, that's rare-medium-rare. Rare is even redder, and "Blue In The Middle" the meat actually still has a purplish tint. A properly done Blue In The Middle steak is delicious and completely safe for human consumption, I'd never get it on a date, but if I'm out with the boys I'll order one, but I'll keep it pointed towards me because it gets looks
Absolutely right. Weissman sometimes changes the whole thing in the 'but better' series. I love his recipes, don't get me wrong, but occasionally I wonder why they even compare it, if they are just cooking something else entirely. Your technique and care should be better not dunking on them with 10 ingredients. No shit your filet mignon is better than a luke warm hoof.
I worked at Arby’s in Long Beach CA from ‘87-90… The special sauce was called Ranch sauce in gallon jug, which was like French dressing. Sweet. “Arby’s Sauce” is the packet sauce. Which is Kinda Spicy Tangy. Then there is Horsey Sauce. A packet. A horseradish, for old people, back when I was 17.
It's not Arby's sauce on the beef and cheddar. I know it looks like it, but it's not. At the restaurant it is called Red Ranch, and is much sweeter then the Arby's sauce. You have to ask for it by name if you want extra. I can't wait to try this recipe though! :-)
Since only the drive-up is open here, and I don't drive... (I usually order take-away and eat at home, and I live just a couple blocks down the street from an Arby's)

That depends upon where you're from in the country for the sauce. For a while there was only the cheese sauce on it if you ordered it to eat at Arby's because you could put as much of the other on it as you wanted.
There website has always said it comes with red ranch. Sometimes it's literally a spec. But you have to ask for extra because they don't stock it in the condiments in the lobby.
I must’ve been sending out some psychic beef n cheddar vibes into the universe because my husband and I were talking about making these ourselves too! 🤯
Part of what makes a beef 'n cheddar what it is is the mixture of the red ranch and cheese sauce. IMO, he f'd up not getting that right. He made a classic roast beef with a side of cheddar and Arby sauce. That's *NOT* a beef 'n cheddar.
You have no idea just how many people call it Arby's sauce lol I used to work backline at Arby's for 5 years and I had a headset to listen to orders. So many people said "I want the beef n cheddar with no Arby's sauce on the bottom" it always grinded my gears bc I knew it was red ranch and that there was a huge difference in taste between the two sauces. Every single day, 9/10 people called it the wrong sauce. I haven't worked there in a couple years now so to hear this guy call it that ended up making me chuckle a bit since I'm not having to hear it everyday anymore
"look me im comparing one sandwich that I made once in my kitchen with fresh ingredients and all the time in the world versus one out of hundreds a fast food chain makes, look how equal this comparison is! Super objective, not biased for a second"
I was going to comment something similar! Not to mention the cost difference between the two sandwiches! He prolly made a $10-15 USD starting unit price(conservatively!), while Arby's is what, $4?
I worked at Arby's twice when I was younger. The cheese sauce comes from a huge can and the Sauce on the bottom is a Red Ranch sauce. Yummy when there is enough to actually taste. I like Arby's Beef n Cheddar. I'm sure homemade is better but I'm not looking to cook a whole freakin roast just to eat one now and again.
@@AB-bo5fz No, unless you ask them to use Arby's sauce instead (which I'm sure they will happily do) its always been Red Ranch on the Beef n Cheddar. Look it up on thier website. Get one and just taste the sauce. It's sweet. Not like the Arby,s sauce at all.

I think I threw up a little in my mouth just from encountering you.. only one of the past four statements is true.. wanna guess which one?
I often make beef & cheddar sammiches at home. I buy those big onion buns and use the Frito Lay mild cheddar sauce, deli roast beast and, of course, a honey French to mock the red ranch sauce that Arby's uses. Western dressing also works, but who can find that stuff these days? The red stuff on beef & cheddar isn't the Arby's sauce out of a packet, but rather a red ranch. A friend of mine, who used to work at Arby's, can confirm that. If you ask for "extra red sauce" for the beef & cheddar, you don't get the Arby's Sauce packet... you actually get some of that red ranch in a small plastic container.
So many people get that wrong when trying to recreate this. It kinda tastes like the Polynesian sauce from Chickfila so I bought that for my homemade version.
Should've made red ranch sauce for it, makes the whole arby's experience. You'd think for this big of a channel they'd have atleast googled what's on the actual sandwich.
I hate the crappy cheeze whiz on Beef and Cheddar, but I love the Red Ranch Sauce. I usually order the Half Pound Roast Beef Sandwich and a side of Red Ranch Sauce. Better experience. I do miss the Big Montana, though.
Back when I worked at Arby’s as a kid (mid 80s), I would swear the bottle that sauce came in said french dressing. The copycat recipes I’ve seen look similar to french dressing as well. Definitely don’t remember it being called red ranch sauce like it is today.
@@moebiusk9085 Not sure about the 80s. The current sauce is definitely not French Dressing. But, It was the 90s before I had the gumption to ask for a side of "the sauce on the beef and cheddar". They told me then it was called "Red Ranch" and I've ordered it as a side at many Arby's locations all over then country since.
Once again, youse guys nailed it!!!!!!!!!!!! I stopped eating at Arbys years ago because they HAD the meats but wouldnt put them on the damn sammich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa , slow down fellas ...... Arby’s executives don’t want to pay actual money to make their sandwich look better, they need new cottages in the hamptons
Many years ago, I worked as an Assistant Manager at Arby's. Your video is great as always, but please know the bottom sauce that is used is not their Arby's Sauce. (Even though it is red), it is known as their "ranch sauce." What is in it, I'm not sure, but it is Not the same as the Arby's sauce you were trying to duplicate. Great videos as always. Thank you for all you do. You are wonderful and have inspired me to start cooking again (started during the Pandemic beginning).
I worked at Arbys a long time ago and was hooked on the Beef N Cheddar sandwich, one time eating three of them in one sitting, and back then, I was a skinny 5'10 135lbs. By the way, the red sauce on the BnC is not Arbys sauce, it's a french dressing that gave the sandwich an amazing sweetness with that meat and cheddar sauce, and the onion bun is pivotal! I don't eat fast food anymore, but I still sometimes am tempted to get one of these for old time's sake!
That lookes amazing! How can fast food outlets get away with delicious looking images, only to be given something that looks nothing like it? Love your channel.
If you want classic beef n cheddar. The sauce on the sandwich is a french dressing. The cheese is a cheddar that is liquid. As for the beef, take some top round and diced it up and add salt then form it into a loaf and roast it in an oven to about 135 degrees. Last time I heard they are using a heat safe cooking bag and dry electric heat. The length depends on when its cooked. Morning beef is typically cooked over night at a lower temp with afternoon and evening beef cooked at a higher temperature for about 3 hours. When I started it was 200 degrees for 3 hours in a convection oven. The bun is your local bakery onion bun. In my area the largest bakery supplies them which is identical to the Onion buns sold in grocery stores. As for toasting yes Arbys does so without using butter which has changed since they did back in the day. As for Arbys Sauce that is a BBQ sauce and is a vinegar based. If you ask for BBQ sauce they will give you the Molasses Based BBQ Sauce. For assembly the beef should not have many air holes in it so pressing it will help compressing it. As for slicing it, we used to call it a 10-10 which is 10 passes of the automatic slicer will push the beef 10mm. Now they want 4 slices to weigh 1 ounce so in theory you should have 12 slices of beef on the classic as they have moved away from those slicers to whatever they are using now. For those wonder why the diced meat and not a whole cut that is so they can get uniform loaves of 10 pounds of beef, well 10.5 pounds. The Meat is actually more shredded than diced but I dont know how to get that done. And yes Arbys uses top round in their roast beef. It should not be ground in any manner. That is not the processing that they do. The only seasoning they do is add salt. When it comes into the stores it was in slender boxes with 4 loaves to a case frozen. We would thaw the beef for about 2 days and get 2 days to use it. I could more stories about Arbys but then again its been a few years so not sure what their current systems are exactly.
1:40 Sam is complaining about the "edge" of cheese that he thinks means the used a "slice" of cheese. What Sam fails to notice is that there is a matching "notch" in the meat on the opposite bun. The cheese sauce was applied to only one bun and then the sandwich was "slapped together".
Yea, it was just a hardened bit of the cheese sauce they use from it sitting around started to get colder. I've had friends who worked at Arby's and it's definitely a cheese whiz type of sauce, not slices.
Used to work at Arby’s. The red sauce for the BC’s were a Red Ranch sauce. Catalina/French dressing. 3 ounces of beef sliced thin enough to read through, and cheese sauce that you’d get at a sports arena for nachos. The beef was cooked to 140 internal temp to avoid food poisoning. Also removed all flavor. They look nicer before getting wrapped up.
'Like a doctor doing a rectal...' I watch these videos for two reasons: These comments, and the possibility you are going to cut a finger off.... Oh... And the priceless parlay with 'The Boys'...
Sam, back in the day when the first Beef & Cheddar was born, Arby's did not use the Arby's Sauce on the sandwich. They used Russian Dressing. Nowadays they have changed it a bit to be a little thinner but still has the same sweetness. They now call it Red Ranch. Maybe the Ranch in the name comes from the Western/Cowboy theme. Nonetheless, it's gooooood! Thanks.... from Louisville, KY, I enjoy your videos! Bruce Loeffler
I've had a weak n cheddar that bad, that's why I've started calling them that and haven't eaten one in years. That shit is demoralizing when you get the thing that place is none for and they fucked it up so bad.
Hi Sam, love your channel! I think a great idea for a regional dish would be the Francesinha sandwich, which is a very popular sandwich in Portugal! It is a BEAST!!! of a sandwich which fits the other videos you’ve done.
Best Christmas dinner ever! Wife bought a rib-eye roast and had planned to cook it in the oven, freak storm came up and knocked the power out. I threw it on the grill and i don't believe a word was said at dinner because nobody wanted to stop eating it was so good! Tradition Now!
I think Arby’s shows the sandwich with double or triple meat which you can order. Their standard is a very small portion. But hands down yours was amazingly fuckin gorgeous!!!
Yea ordering something like that at a fast food joint you have to tell them to triple the meat and drown it in cheese sauce for it to even look remotely like it's advertised

I moved out on my own for the first time to a city in Northern Alberta. I had limited funds to work with until I got my first paycheque. Arby’s had beef n cheddars on for 35 cents each. So I bought 25 of them, and ate them for breakfast lunch and dinner for 4 days in a row 😂.

Was making French dip tonight…quick run to the store and now I’m making this. Thanks!
I think its cool that you bring your kids in. Seems like you really like them and I hope they feel that. (Not all families are so nice to each other)
The red sauce on the bun is called red ranch. Arby's sauce is different, I used to manage an Arby's in college.
Humble-brag?
I must’ve been sending out some psychic beef n cheddar vibes into the universe because my husband and I were talking about making these ourselves too! 🤯
The beef n cheddar comes with red ranch not Arby sauce 😊 but you still did an awesome job! Looked really good!
Part of what makes a beef 'n cheddar what it is is the mixture of the red ranch and cheese sauce. IMO, he f'd up not getting that right. He made a classic roast beef with a side of cheddar and Arby sauce. That's *NOT* a beef 'n cheddar.
You have no idea just how many people call it Arby's sauce lol I used to work backline at Arby's for 5 years and I had a headset to listen to orders. So many people said "I want the beef n cheddar with no Arby's sauce on the bottom" it always grinded my gears bc I knew it was red ranch and that there was a huge difference in taste between the two sauces. Every single day, 9/10 people called it the wrong sauce. I haven't worked there in a couple years now so to hear this guy call it that ended up making me chuckle a bit since I'm not having to hear it everyday anymore
Is that what that sweet orangish/red garbage is?
🤣 yeah that's it! I managed Arbys for 4 years and loved working backline during rush hours haha made way to many Beef N'Cheddars though 😅
@@nevadorado8079 can you order with no red ranch
God bless this sandwich 🙌
That prime roast took my breath away... So gorgeous.
"look me im comparing one sandwich that I made once in my kitchen with fresh ingredients and all the time in the world versus one out of hundreds a fast food chain makes, look how equal this comparison is! Super objective, not biased for a second"
Lol
I was going to comment something similar! Not to mention the cost difference between the two sandwiches! He prolly made a $10-15 USD starting unit price(conservatively!), while Arby's is what, $4?
I worked at Arby's twice when I was younger. The cheese sauce comes from a huge can and the Sauce on the bottom is a Red Ranch sauce. Yummy when there is enough to actually taste. I like Arby's Beef n Cheddar. I'm sure homemade is better but I'm not looking to cook a whole freakin roast just to eat one now and again.
There's always one......
The sauce that comes on the Beef n Cheddar is "Red Ranch" not Arbys sauce . It is basically Catalina salad dressing.
That's nasty. That was my parent's fave salad dressing, so as kids that whats we got at the table.
Not used everywhere....
It is tottaly true. I worked at arbys in high school, it not arbys sauce it is red ranch.
@@AB-bo5fz No, unless you ask them to use Arby's sauce instead (which I'm sure they will happily do) its always been Red Ranch on the Beef n Cheddar. Look it up on thier website. Get one and just taste the sauce. It's sweet. Not like the Arby,s sauce at all.
@@deadmeat1240 another person who doesn't understand that not everything happens the same way everywhere just because it convenient for them to believe so.. must be hard being the center of the universe and have everything revolve around you.. It's like meeting a god.. my life is now complete... I can die happy... I think I threw up a little in my mouth just from encountering you.. only one of the past four statements is true.. wanna guess which one?
I often make beef & cheddar sammiches at home. I buy those big onion buns and use the Frito Lay mild cheddar sauce, deli roast beast and, of course, a honey French to mock the red ranch sauce that Arby's uses. Western dressing also works, but who can find that stuff these days? The red stuff on beef & cheddar isn't the Arby's sauce out of a packet, but rather a red ranch. A friend of mine, who used to work at Arby's, can confirm that. If you ask for "extra red sauce" for the beef & cheddar, you don't get the Arby's Sauce packet... you actually get some of that red ranch in a small plastic container.
Well done! Even Jon Stewart would love that kind of Arby's... meat, meat, meat...
Arby's red sauce on their beef and cheddar tastes like Catalina dressing to me.
I worked there in college. Beef and cheddar does have Catalina dressing not Arby's sause. Arby's sause is better.
The red sauce is definitely NOT Catalina dressing.
@@kimdotson5130 the sause in the packet is not. They use something different on the actual beef and cheddar sandwich.
@@kimdotson5130 it is, though.
It tastes like Polynesian from Chickfila to me. I bought the Polynesian they sell in stores now and it works on your own Beef n Cheddar.
The sauce on the bottom of a Beef and Cheddar is not Arby's Sauce, it's Red Ranch.
So many people get that wrong when trying to recreate this. It kinda tastes like the Polynesian sauce from Chickfila so I bought that for my homemade version.
Should've made red ranch sauce for it, makes the whole arby's experience. You'd think for this big of a channel they'd have atleast googled what's on the actual sandwich.
bingo@ u cant have a beef n cheddar without red ranch
I hate the crappy cheeze whiz on Beef and Cheddar, but I love the Red Ranch Sauce. I usually order the Half Pound Roast Beef Sandwich and a side of Red Ranch Sauce. Better experience. I do miss the Big Montana, though.
@@mikegreene6052 that's what I normally order, it smacks.
Back when I worked at Arby’s as a kid (mid 80s), I would swear the bottle that sauce came in said french dressing. The copycat recipes I’ve seen look similar to french dressing as well. Definitely don’t remember it being called red ranch sauce like it is today.
@@moebiusk9085 Not sure about the 80s. The current sauce is definitely not French Dressing. But, It was the 90s before I had the gumption to ask for a side of "the sauce on the beef and cheddar". They told me then it was called "Red Ranch" and I've ordered it as a side at many Arby's locations all over then country since.
16:53 Sam: "Oh hey now"
Me: "You're an all-star get your game on go play!"
Once again, youse guys nailed it!!!!!!!!!!!! I stopped eating at Arbys years ago because they HAD the meats but wouldnt put them on the damn sammich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARBYS: You
Sams Masterpiece: The guy your girlfriend tells you not to worry about
I seriously hope Arby’s executives watch this episode, because they should be ashamed of themselves!
and that goes for most of the chains (photos vs reality)
Whoa , slow down fellas ...... Arby’s executives don’t want to pay actual money to make their sandwich look better, they need new cottages in the hamptons
That smoothe jazz with the cheese pour was a nice touch
Many years ago, I worked as an Assistant Manager at Arby's. Your video is great as always, but please know the bottom sauce that is used is not their Arby's Sauce. (Even though it is red), it is known as their "ranch sauce." What is in it, I'm not sure, but it is Not the same as the Arby's sauce you were trying to duplicate. Great videos as always. Thank you for all you do. You are wonderful and have inspired me to start cooking again (started during the Pandemic beginning).
"I'm so hungry, I could eat at Arby's!"
"Ohhhhh! Wow! She's *really* hungry"
There is one right next to where I live and whenever my best friend comes over to visit we always say those lines ever time we drive by the place!
The closest one to me is almost 3 hours away.
Booooo
I worked at Arbys a long time ago and was hooked on the Beef N Cheddar sandwich, one time eating three of them in one sitting, and back then, I was a skinny 5'10 135lbs. By the way, the red sauce on the BnC is not Arbys sauce, it's a french dressing that gave the sandwich an amazing sweetness with that meat and cheddar sauce, and the onion bun is pivotal! I don't eat fast food anymore, but I still sometimes am tempted to get one of these for old time's sake!
“And this ladies and gentlemen is a motherfucking beef and cheddar.“ - Sam the cooking guy.
Classic!
That lookes amazing! How can fast food outlets get away with delicious looking images, only to be given something that looks nothing like it? Love your channel.
If you want classic beef n cheddar. The sauce on the sandwich is a french dressing. The cheese is a cheddar that is liquid. As for the beef, take some top round and diced it up and add salt then form it into a loaf and roast it in an oven to about 135 degrees. Last time I heard they are using a heat safe cooking bag and dry electric heat. The length depends on when its cooked. Morning beef is typically cooked over night at a lower temp with afternoon and evening beef cooked at a higher temperature for about 3 hours. When I started it was 200 degrees for 3 hours in a convection oven. The bun is your local bakery onion bun. In my area the largest bakery supplies them which is identical to the Onion buns sold in grocery stores. As for toasting yes Arbys does so without using butter which has changed since they did back in the day. As for Arbys Sauce that is a BBQ sauce and is a vinegar based. If you ask for BBQ sauce they will give you the Molasses Based BBQ Sauce.
For assembly the beef should not have many air holes in it so pressing it will help compressing it. As for slicing it, we used to call it a 10-10 which is 10 passes of the automatic slicer will push the beef 10mm. Now they want 4 slices to weigh 1 ounce so in theory you should have 12 slices of beef on the classic as they have moved away from those slicers to whatever they are using now.
For those wonder why the diced meat and not a whole cut that is so they can get uniform loaves of 10 pounds of beef, well 10.5 pounds. The Meat is actually more shredded than diced but I dont know how to get that done. And yes Arbys uses top round in their roast beef. It should not be ground in any manner. That is not the processing that they do. The only seasoning they do is add salt. When it comes into the stores it was in slender boxes with 4 loaves to a case frozen. We would thaw the beef for about 2 days and get 2 days to use it. I could more stories about Arbys but then again its been a few years so not sure what their current systems are exactly.
1:40 Sam is complaining about the "edge" of cheese that he thinks means the used a "slice" of cheese.
What Sam fails to notice is that there is a matching "notch" in the meat on the opposite bun.
The cheese sauce was applied to only one bun and then the sandwich was "slapped together".
Yea, it was just a hardened bit of the cheese sauce they use from it sitting around started to get colder. I've had friends who worked at Arby's and it's definitely a cheese whiz type of sauce, not slices.
Used to work at Arby’s. The red sauce for the BC’s were a Red Ranch sauce. Catalina/French dressing. 3 ounces of beef sliced thin enough to read through, and cheese sauce that you’d get at a sports arena for nachos. The beef was cooked to 140 internal temp to avoid food poisoning. Also removed all flavor.
They look nicer before getting wrapped up.
'Like a doctor doing a rectal...' I watch these videos for two reasons: These comments, and the possibility you are going to cut a finger off.... Oh... And the priceless parlay with 'The Boys'...
Yes! The interactions with the boys is usually the source of my out loud laughter.
Thank you for fixing that missing spot of butter while you were seasoning. I can die whole now.
It was mayo, but yea.
Sam, back in the day when the first Beef & Cheddar was born, Arby's did not use the Arby's Sauce on the sandwich. They used Russian Dressing. Nowadays they have changed it a bit to be a little thinner but still has the same sweetness. They now call it Red Ranch. Maybe the Ranch in the name comes from the Western/Cowboy theme. Nonetheless, it's gooooood! Thanks.... from Louisville, KY, I enjoy your videos! Bruce Loeffler
Love the new paper towel graphics 😂
I’ve never had a bad beef and cheddar that sh$& is 🔥 af
That was the saddest beef n cheddar I've ever seen
I've had a weak n cheddar that bad, that's why I've started calling them that and haven't eaten one in years. That shit is demoralizing when you get the thing that place is none for and they fucked it up so bad.
There was maybe 5 locations, where I lived years ago, and none of them put out such a sad looking sandwich
Hi Sam, love your channel! I think a great idea for a regional dish would be the Francesinha sandwich, which is a very popular sandwich in Portugal! It is a BEAST!!! of a sandwich which fits the other videos you’ve done.
300+ dislikes? All Arby’s executives? 😂 this looks fucking amazing 🤩 I can’t wait to try it.
Arby's beef, is fantastic in a poutine.
Poutine is French Canadian, straight fries, beef gravy and cheese curdes or mozzarella in chunks.
My 6 year old son goes “why would they give you a empty flat one, I would want the full one” 😂
Children speak the unadulterated truth 😀
Best Christmas dinner ever! Wife bought a rib-eye roast and had planned to cook it in the oven, freak storm came up and knocked the power out. I threw it on the grill and i don't believe a word was said at dinner because nobody wanted to stop eating it was so good! Tradition Now!
It’s not Arbys sauce. It’s Red ranch and is French dressing. the cheese comes from a machine, the meat is baked. Worked there in high school.
I think Arby’s shows the sandwich with double or triple meat which you can order. Their standard is a very small portion. But hands down yours was amazingly fuckin gorgeous!!!
Yea ordering something like that at a fast food joint you have to tell them to triple the meat and drown it in cheese sauce for it to even look remotely like it's advertised

Hey Sam..... i worked at Arby's as my first job 35 years ago Just FYI.... the sauce on the Beef N Cheddar is Catalina Dressing.
Well done guys, I’m always hungry after watching.....😎
0:22 - Excuse me, boys, this Sam/Paper towel roll design needs to be a shirt.
It is I think
Would love to see you guys make the cheesy gordita crunch from Taco bell 🌮
Yea red ranch is the sauce
This deserves caramelised onions.
Everything reminds me of her... 😥😪
This is great
With inflation running rampant right now only millionaires and billionaires will be able to afford to cook Sam's recipes.
Badass job boys!!! I'm going to try this!
i freaking love your show Sam & the boys
That is NOT Arby’s sauce on the sandwich. That is Arby’s “red ranch”. It is different from their Arby’s sauce.
I moved out on my own for the first time to a city in Northern Alberta. I had limited funds to work with until I got my first paycheque. Arby’s had beef n cheddars on for 35 cents each. So I bought 25 of them, and ate them for breakfast lunch and dinner for 4 days in a row 😂.
Great refreshing of one of my old favorites! Thanks Sam!
Your Arby's must be poorly managed. The sandwiches at my Arby's looks very similar to the one you made.
Its a red ranch sauce on the bottom and its an aged chadder sauce. I worked for Arby's years ago.
Beef N Cheddar's with medium curly fries have been my go-to order for years! Cool to see your take on my favorite.
I get beef and cheddar every so often and can tell you go ripped off on the one you got. They screwed you on the beef, usually there is more than that
That Arby's sauce on that looks very water compared to what I remember when I used to work there as a teen😍🤤🍽️ omg that's amazing looking
Beef and cheddars do not come with arbys sauce. It’s actually what they call “red ranch”
I think i need a waterproof keyboard for how much that beef made me drool 😂
Nice idea using Mayo as binder Sam! Will try it out, guess it’ll make the crust richer.
Here I am to finish the watch, My favorite sandwich at Arby's , Need to have curly fries and a Jamocha shake too
1:45 Former employee here: That is in fact not arby's sauce it's called "Red Ranch" idk what's in it but if I eat there I tell them to take it off and I put arbys sauce on like a fuck load of it :P just FYI
Yo Sam frantically looking around for a napkin gets me everytime 😂😂😂
OMG! My wife just made this and it is amazing! We love Sam SO much!!
THAT is a sandwich young man!! Very nicely done...
As someone who worked at Arby's it is definitely sauce but it comes in a bag
