Food Network Roast Beef and Horseradish Finger Sandwiches (Tea S

Yummy addition to a tea, baby shower, football party or anytime! This recipe is courtesy of Jill Novatt of the Food Network. It is a simple recipe that can be eaten as is or taken to another level by adding cheese, tomatoes and/or avocado. You can also use mini sourdough rolls. It seems intimidating to grill the bread. I just broiled/toasted the roll halves open faced in the oven on a baking sheet and achieved the same results. Enjoy! ChefDLH
